Axis Deer

Scientific Name: Axis axis

DID YOU KNOW?

• Axis deer keep their white spots for life, unlike many deer species.
• They are among the most vocal deer, making alarm calls, bellows, and whistles.
• They often form mixed herds with langur monkeys in the wild, working together to spot danger.

EVERY SPECIES COUNT

While axis deer populations are stable, they are threatened in some areas by habitat loss and hunting. Emirates Park Zoo helps spread awareness about coexisting with wildlife and protecting natural habitats.
