Peculiar in deer, male fallow deer have webbed antlers! Females and young live in groups called herds, while males are often solitary. Although this species is said to have originated in Turkey, it was introduced in other regions in ancient times: Europe, America, South Africa, Australia, etc. This wide distribution is made possible by the great adaptability of fallow deer, in terms of habitat, climate and even diet!

In the park, fallow deer are present in the Asian plain, along with nilgauts and cervicaper antelopes. In summer, you will certainly be able to observe fawns!
