It is a chinese deer that is genetically closely related to red deer. It was discovered by a French missionary and is a seriously ugly mother with the tail of a donkey the hooves and muzzle of a cow, the neck of a camel and as you have observed VC antlers that look like an out of control gorse bush.

That is a nice red. They obviously have very good nourishment to produce heads like that.

The red stag I would assume "not" free range.
Very interesting that the Pere Davids are free ranging, awesome. They are the only deer never to have been known in thier native range, a few were discovered by David (a missionary) in a park in china (Imperial garden???) can't remeber the details. It is assumed that they were a wet land/ swamp dweller. Plenty in England, only in parks I think.
If that is a free range animal above, then they are very good quality!!

I agree. there are only two things that produce a head like that. Excellent genetics and bloody good tucker.

They are very susceptible to Malignant Catarrh Fever, a respiratory infection which sheep carry. It tips them up very quickly. I haven't heard if there are any left in NZ. One of their identifying features is that their antlers do appear to be on backwards.

One of my students was involved in research based here in NZ on them, they have a very interesting skin and tail etc with a nice raised ridge down the spine.
