Sika Deer Cervus nippon Stags
Dominant male Sika Deer will tolerate subordinates in their territory. These two stags headed a mixed herd of young male and female deer. Here the dominant greyer male confronts the subordinate chestnut coloured slightly smaller stag before the latter deferred and led the herd off up the hillside. Adult male Sika can weigh up to 64Kg. varying on habitat, with a maximum of 8 points on their antlers (only 2 on each antler point forward).
Sika Deer were originally introduced to the UK from Japan in 1860.
