About this species
- Range
- Central Asia, scattered in small population units in several countries
The Central Asian red deer, or Tarim red deer, is a deer native to Central Asia, where it used to be widely distributed but is now scattered in small population units in several countries. Its fur is a light ginger colour (Wikipedia, general species account).
India is listed in the mammal range data for this species, but the cached account is a few lines long and gives nothing on where in India it occurs, its diet, behaviour or breeding, so this entry is limited to identification and general range (Wikipedia, general species account).
