Last week I only saw the female and her new fawn (I tried to sex it but no luck:(.) But that doesn't mean the male and older young weren't at the back but I could not see them at all.

We saw two 'fully-grown' Tufted Deer in there on Monday, so I think the whole family is still there. I did take some (unimpressive) photos so will check later if it looks like the adult pair or the previous youngster.
 
When I went last week I saw 3 lol, but they are never all out, one or 2 are always in the indor space.
 
This photo is the male, identified by his canine 'tusks'. They are similar to Muntjac deer in that the males have small antlers, but they can be completely hidden by the head tuft, as seems to be the case with this one.
