Sika deer are elegant members of the deer family, known for their striking appearance and vocalizations. These medium-sized deer have a wide range of habitats, including forests, grasslands, and marshes, where they graze on a variety of vegetation.

Sika deer exhibit sexual dimorphism, with males (stags) possessing antlers that are shed and regrown annually, while females (hinds) lack antlers. They live in social groups, with females and their offspring forming herds and stags often being solitary or forming bachelor groups outside the breeding season.
