Howletts Wild Animal Park Antelope and deer park

Cervus duvauceli is the species name ... I mean subspecies (one is ranjithsinhi, a nominate race + a third). So, from which bloodlines do the European bharasingha stem?

The majority are the nominate race duvauceli; though Zootierliste suggests that those at Obterre and some of the Port Lympne animals are branderi.

Sorry, Kifaru- I meant to put Duvauceli duvauceli- as Maguari says; the nominate race.

I would be surprised if any of Port Lympne's are 'branderi'- this is the Central Indian race and nearly became extinct a few decades ago. It wasn't then kept in any zoos outside India, maybe not in India either. But perhaps because they're so rare PL have obtained some. Was I looking at 'branderi' on my last visit there?:confused:
