The chital or cheetal, also known as the spotted deer, chital deer, and axis deer, is a deer species native to the Indian subcontinent. While males weigh 150–200 lb., females weigh around 88–132 lb. Males are larger than females, and antlers are present only on males.They are quite abundant in Gir National Park, India.


These are great, thank you for sharing. They aren’t afraid of people? Most deer where I am from run if they see you.
Thanks Damien. These chitals stand for a few seconds and then dart away. Took these images from far, so they were not threatened.
