 Australia's Wild Deer   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The chital was the first species of deer introduced into Australia in the early 1800s by Dr. John Harris, surgeon to the New South Wales Corps and he had about 400 of these animals on his property by 1813.
Behaviourally, the chital is gregarious (a strong herding instinct) and, originating in tropical regions which do not have the extreme seasonal variations of Europe, is irregular in its breeding patterns.
In behaviour, the hog deer differs from the chital in that while it may be seen in numbers on attractive feeding areas, it lives and acts as an individual.

 Density, Activity Patterns and Foraging of Chital and Livestock in Gir
The density of chital in Gir was estimated to be 21.8 (95 % CI 16.2 to 29.5) per km2.
The ecological density of chital in different zones was: east 18.9 (10.3 to 34.7), central 21.5 (13.5 to 34.1) and west 38.8 (25.3 to 59.5) per km2.
Since livestock shared chital habitat in Gir east and west (sanctuary areas) while central Gir was devoid of livestock (National Park area), the above analysis suggests that chital populations respond primarily to habitat and forage availability and not to livestock presence.
