      Certainly not the best picture but this was taken in a unlabeled exhibit near the Zebu paddocks, considering the fact all the Hog deers are now kept with the Nilgais ; I believe this is the Bawean deers that just arrived at Tierpark?

      @Zoo Tycooner FR, yes these are Bawean deer (Axis kuhlii). Tierpark Berlin imported 1.2 from Poznan Nowe Zoo in July.

      @UngulateNerd92: I do know Tierpark received Bawean deers from Poznan, it was more about the fact Tierpark has a large collection of deers (14 taxa) and as such it can be confusing to identify some unlisted taxa; especially when my pictures are so bad (including this one). Thanks for you answer though. :)

      @Zoo Tycooner FR oh ok, yes I see where you are comming from...these particular animals are clearly Bawean deer.

      I suspect the fact that Tierpark Berlin also keeps the congeneric, Indian hog deer (Axis porcinus) would add to the confusion...

      @UngulateNerd92: Thanks for the clarification, yeah it is indeed confusing but thankfully the hog deers were all combined with the Nilgai in a same enclosure and as such it was easier to identify these as Bawean deers.

      @Zoo Tycooner FR you are welcome!

      If you look at Axis kuhlii and Axis porcinus side by side, you can easily tell the difference.
