Dolphin deer, also known as pig deer. Medium in size, but thicker, shorter limbs, shorter, shorter, shorter, rounded and lower hips, pig-like posture, hence the name.
More like a pig is: short limbs, and like to bow their heads, when running, bow their heads, extend their necks, small steps and sprint, very much like pigs running, so it is also called pig deer.
Males have horns, which are the second characteristic of the buck and are also the weapons of the contending for mates.
The ossified horns are three-pronged, and the horns of the stag are not long, with a short eyebrow, and the main branch behind it is divided into two small branches. Females do not have horns.
Dolphin deer like to move alone, occasionally 2 or 3 together, but never in large groups. However, during the estrus season and in feeding places, temporary small groups are often integrated, and the number of groups per group is only about 10.
The dolphin deer is commonly inhabited by deep grass and does not come out to feed until late in the evening, which is difficult to see during the day. It is also a solitary animal with no fixed estrus period.
It is distributed in India, and Yunnan, China. It is now a national level protected animal.
