Japanese Sika Deer |
Cervus nippon nippon
Ciervo sika Japones (Sp).
DESCRIPTION (male) Shoulder height about 31 inches (79 cm). Weight about 105 pounds (48 kg). Females are smaller.One of the smaller races of sika deer. Antlers as long as 28-3/8 inches (72.1 cm) have been recorded from Japan (Rowland Ward, 1913), though it is not known where in Japan. Antlers of 16-22 inches (40.6-55.9 cm) are more usual. The summer coat is reddish-brown with many white spots, changing to dark brown (which can appear black at a distance) without spots in winter. The sharply defined white rump patch is broken by a dark, narrow tail stripe.
DISTRIBUTION Free ranging in parts of Scotland, Ireland, England, France, Denmark, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, and perhaps elsewhere. Also kept in fenced game parks in many European countries.
REMARKS As stated earlier, we cannot be entirely certain of the racial purity of Japanese sika deer in Europe. However, because of their much smaller bodies and antlers, and their distinctive coloration, we think it is reasonable to treat them as such in the Record Book.
