Abstract
This research took place at the locality El Tibisí, at Minas de Matahambre municipality within the area of the Forestry Enterprise Minas (EFI), and in 4 vegetal formations: Pinus caribaea platation, var. caribaea, pinus forest, semidecidous forest, Pinus topicalis forests. For the estimate of density, the excrete count method was used in circular parcels of about 15 m radio, which were distributed in a systematic way through the vegetation and a distance between parcels of 50 meters. When comparing deer´s density among vegetal formation by Mann-Whitney test, a meaningful difference was found between semidecidous forest with respect to the other kinds of forests. The WhiteTailed Deer´s highest values of estimate average density were of 13,65 ± 1.04 deers/100 ha, for semidecidous forest, 3,50 ± 0,97 deers/100 ha in Pinus caribaea platation, 2,65 ± 0,47 deers/100 ha in pinus forest and the lowest estimate average density was 1,13 ± 0,31 deers /100 ha in pinus forest (Pinus tropicalis).
