They are not horses though they have faces like horses.
They are not deers though they have deerlike antliers.
Tjey are not cows though they have cow-like hooves.
And they are not donkeys though they have donkeylike tails.
That's why the Pere David's Deer, a native Chinese species, is called "the four unlikes" in China. Its official name was given after French missionary Armand David, who found it in a royal hunting garden south of Beijing and introduced it to the west in 1865.
The 3 million-year-old species almost went extinct about 100 years ago with only 18 remained in London. It was then re-introduced to China. Read the fascinating stories about the Pere David's Deer, and help build a better future for them and the human being.
