Tales of the Père David's Deer - Paperback
Description
by Ding Yuhua (Compiled by)
They are not horses though they have faces like horses.
They are not deers though they have deerlike antliers.
Tjey are not cows though they have cow-like hooves.
And they are not donkeys though they have donkeylike tails.
That's why the Pere David's Deer, a native Chinese species, is called "the four unlikes" in China. Its official name was given after French missionary Armand David, who found it in a royal hunting garden south of Beijing and introduced it to the west in 1865.
The 3 million-year-old species almost went extinct about 100 years ago with only 18 remained in London. It was then re-introduced to China. Read the fascinating stories about the Pere David's Deer, and help build a better future for them and the human being.
