Description
They are very similar in color and appearance to the main subspecies of the red deer, but may be a bit smaller, although this can not be proven. Brown to a red colored coat or hide, with semi-large antlers, long ears, and a partially distinctive snout color pattern. The fur on their snouts are somewhat different from other subspecies, but generally from a distance looks the same.[1]
