Sika Deer
Cervus nippon
Sika deer inhabit forests, woodland clearings, grasslands, and scrub near reliable cover. They browse leaves, twigs, acorns, grasses, and other seasonal plant foods, usually feeding most actively around dawn and dusk. Males grow branching antlers and use them in contests during the breeding season.
