Summary[edit]

| Description | A Chital (Axis Deer) stag in the Penang Bird Park. The chital or cheetal (Axis axis) also known as chital deer, spotted deer or axis deer is a species of deer which commonly inhabits wooded regions of India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and in small numbers in Pakistan. The chital's coat is pinkish fawn, marked with white spots, and its underparts are also white. Its antlers, which it sheds annually, are usually three-pronged and curve in a lyre shape and may extend to 75 cm (2.5 ft). Chital are primarily grazers and feed on short, sprouting grasses. However, they will also browse, as well as eat forbs, fruit, and branches of trees, especially when they are thrown down by monkeys. Stags (males) are more likely to stand on their hind legs on feed on tree foliage. Chital prefer to be near water and will drink in mornings and evenings in hot weather. Predators of the chital include wolves, tigers, Asiatic lions (in Gir Forest only), leopards, Indian rock pythons, dholes, and mugger crocodiles. Red foxes and golden jackals also sometimes prey on chital fawns. (Butterworth, Penang, Nov. 2013) |
