The Père David deer are more massive and stronger than most deers. They are also extremely rare.

Père David’s were saved from extinction thanks to Father Armand David, who took took some specimen from China to Europe at the end of the nineteenth century, saving these deers from dieing out. This was lucky for the deers, as the European population soon became the only one present on earth, as the David’s Deers in China were killed during the great flood in 1894.

Unlike most deers, they like areas with plenty of freshwater around. Their natural habitat being swampy areas, they are also excellent swimmers and if the temperature is too warm, the deers will spend most of the day submerged in water, however,  it would also be fair to say that they very much enjoy their environment at Stravon.
