SivatheriumGuy 26 Sep 2022 This looks more like a Bactrian deer (Cervus hanglu bactrianus) to me, but I don't know much about what Bronx keeps so I won't blindly assume. Although I'm pretty sure that's not a barasingha.

red river hog 26 Sep 2022 @SivatheriumGuy I thought it looked different, but the guide said this was a Barasingha, although Bactrian Deer makes way more sense.

Great Argus 26 Sep 2022 Bronx keeps both species, the guide probably got mixed up. The zoo does keep 13 species of deer after all!

SivatheriumGuy 27 Sep 2022 @Great Argus That's the proper number of cervid species a zoo should have, altough you can't have enough deer
