Here is the new online deer quizz on the BASC website. Question (7).
7) Which of the six species of deer found in the UK originate from India?
a) Chinese water deer
b) Fallow deer
c) Muntjac
d) Sika
The answer apparently is Muntjac?
I thought that our British Muntjac came from China. Indian 'Muntjak' were brought to Woburn but were found to be too aggressive and were culled out.
God I'd hate to think BASC cocked up again!
