Do you know 6 kinds of exotic deer?
1. Swertia

Unlike most deer, roe deer has no antlers, but long teeth-actually drooping canine teeth. Their tusks are so conspicuous that people sometimes call them "bloodsucking deer". When fighting with each other, male roebuck usually knocks off each other's fangs and uses them as weapons to fight.

Roy's hometown is in most parts of the Korean peninsula and parts of China. /kloc-In the late 20th century, the roe was introduced to the Warburn Abbey in England, which is famous for its exotic species. Later, the roe deer in Woburn Manor and another park in England escaped, and the escaped roe deer multiplied in groups, forming wild deer herds in some areas of England.

Visible location: Swertia japonica is widely distributed in Korea and is regarded as an agricultural pest. Some observers reported that roe deer were found in Sanshan Lake and other places. There is no doubt that roe deer is more common in Britain. This unique deer can be seen in Woburn Manor.

For people who love deer watching, Woben Manor is a must-see attraction. You can watch roe deer and other deer animals in the scenic and historic manor. Woburn Manor also successfully saved the endangered elk, which may be the strangest action to save species in history.

2. Purdue (Purdue)

The two close relatives of Pudu deer-Pudu deer in the north and Pudu deer in the south-are the smallest deer on the earth. Their shoulder length is about 12 to 17 inches (about 30 to 43 cm), and the newborn deer is only 6 inches (about 15 cm) high, which is incredibly cute, a bit like a rabbit, like Bambi, and like a plush toy.

The antlers of Gongpudu deer are short and have no forks. This deer lives in the temperate rain forest of South America and is seriously threatened by habitat loss.

Visible location: It is not easy to find a Pudu deer in the dense tropical rain forest. Jon Hall, a mammal observer, suggested that people go to Tepuhueico, a park in Chile, which is a private reserve and an excellent place to observe Pudu deer in the south. Also in Chile, the valdivia Coastal Reserve of the Nature Conservancy (TNC) provides an excellent habitat for Pudu deer, and there are automatic tracking cameras in the reserve to monitor the dynamics of Pudu deer in real time.

3.muntjac

Muntjac has antlers, but other than that, this Asian deer has nothing in common with white-tailed deer in your backyard. Muntjac is very small and often hides in dense forests. Its canine teeth are fangs, which are used for fighting. When frightened, it will make a sharp and loud cry.

There are about 15 species of muntjac, most of which are distributed in South Asia. Among them, muntjac is more common, but people know little about them. Red muntjac has fewer chromosomes (7 males and 6 females) than other mammals.

Unlike most ungulate mammals, muntjac is an omnivore, and records show that it feeds on eggs and even carrion. Red muntjac has a visible infraorbital gland-a black spot in the fundus, which marks its territory with smell.

Visible location: Stay in India's national parks (such as Bandaga National Park and Kaziranga National Park), and you will probably see traces of muntjac (called barking deer by locals). Muntjac usually rushes back to the jungle, leaving only a quick glance.

Reeves' muntjac is another deer introduced to Woburn Manor. Like the roe, the muntjac escaped from Woburn Manor, and now it has begun to spread and can be seen everywhere in the English countryside.

4. Pine oriole

1997, scientists found the trace of Changshan muntjac in Changshan Mountains of Vietnam. However, the pseudo-southern antelope found in the same mountain range is more striking. The south-central wildebeest is a large mammal, which looks like a cow.

Western researchers have never seen a gazelle or a mountain muntjac in south-central China. The original species description of Changshan muntjac was based on skulls found in rural markets and houses. From 2004 to 10, the researchers found no further evidence to prove the existence of Changshan muntjac. It was not until 20 14 that a ranger discovered that the rat catcher caught a muntjac and set it free. The video recorded all this.

Changshan mountain range is another unique habitat of muntjac. Unfortunately, rampant poachers have laid many traps in the mountains, which seriously threaten the red muntjac in Vietnam.

Visible location: Muntjac is a very rare mammal. If you want to see Changshan muntjac, you need to go through hard exploration, have extraordinary field skills and excellent luck.

5. Japanese short-horned deer

At first glance, the short-horned deer is like a muntjac distributed in the New World. In fact, the genetic relationship between the two deer is not very close. Short-horned deer are small and mysterious, living in the forests of Yucatan Peninsula in Central America and southern South America.

Until the 1990s, taxonomists still found only four species of short-horned deer. Recent research shows that there may be as many as 23 species of deer, some of which are common in national parks, nature reserves and cultural sites, and even appear frequently and briefly.

However, even for researchers, many short-horned deer breeds are very rare. Japanese short-horned deer is a good example. Japanese short-horned deer was found in a small area at the junction of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. They don't sleep during the day and come out at night, which is very mysterious. There are still secrets on this crowded and thoroughly studied earth. So is the study of Cervidae, which is full of mystery.

Visible location: It is reported that Japanese short-legged deer can be seen in the waterfall national park in Argentina. Considering the crowded degree of this famous tourist attraction and the dense forests around it, I think the chances of seeing Japanese short-horned deer there are no less than winning the lottery-but it's still worth a try.

There are many great wildlife reserves in Latin America. As long as you keep watching carefully, you can also find other kinds of short-horned deer.

6.dolphin deer

Dolphin deer are strong and live in flooded plains covered with grass, so they are more common than most other deer we mentioned. Dolphin deer's legs are very short, and its head leans back when running. It looks more like a pig than a deer (hence its name). Dolphin deer are typical solitary animals, but after the fire, they will gather in groups on the grass and feed on grass buds.

The living conditions of many deer in the world are not as good as those in white-tailed deer, and so are dolphin deer. In the past 25 years, due to poaching and habitat loss, the number of dolphin deer in South Asia has decreased by more than 90%.

Visible location: Kaziranga National Park, located in the northeast of India, is the base camp of dolphins and deer, where there are about 1.5 million dolphins and deer. In this spectacular park, you can also see the one-horned rhinoceros, elephants, wild buffaloes and Lu Ze. This is one of the largest wildlife reserves in the world.

There are also many dolphins and deer in Royal Chitwan National Park and badia National Park, which tourists can see.
