Reid deer are ruminants, chairacterised bi a fower-chaumered stamack. Genetic evidence indicates the reid deer as tradeetionally defined is a species group, raither nor a single species, awtho it remeens disputit as tae exactly hou mony species the group includes.[5][6] The closely relatit an slichtly lairger wapiti, native tae North Americae an eastren pairts o Asie, haed been regairdit as a subspecies o reid deer, but recently it haes been established as a distinct species. It is probable that the auncestor o aw reid deer, includin wapiti, oreeginatit in central Asie an resemmled sika deer.[7]
Awtho at ane time reid deer war rare in pairts o Europe, thay war niver close tae extinction. Reintroduction an conservation efforts, sic as in the Unitit Kinrick an Portugal,[8] haes resultit in an increase o reid deer populations, while ither auries, sic as North Africae, hae conteena'd tae shaw a population decline.
