About Red Deer
Red deer are a large deer native to Europe, western Asia, and North Africa, and a close relative of the North American elk. Introduced populations exist on ranches and preserves elsewhere, and where their range overlaps with elk, the two can hybridize — a real complication for anyone trying to maintain genetically pure red deer bloodlines.
