Indian Swamp Deer at Terra Natura, 03/08/14

um... these are not Chital, as they (Chital) only have 3 tines to their antlers. Someone could confirm, but they look like a Chinese species to me

Defiantly not Chital and they do look more like Sika, but all the Sika I have seen do not have over 4 tines including brow tines. The closer one with an extra tine on one side may just be a non typical type though.

These look more like Barasingha (Rucervus duvaucelli)
I cant quite tell you wether these are

Rucervus duvaucelli ranjitsinhi

Rucervus duvaucelli branderi

Or

Rucervus duvaucelli duvaucelli

Zootierliste dosnt seem to get into subspecies when it comes to Barasingha
