Sika Deer
→ The first sika deer arrived in Ireland in 1860
They were introduced into Ireland as decorative additions to the native deer in 1860 by Lord Powerscourt.
→ Identification
The antlers of the stag are branched and can have up to four points on each, in rare circumstances up to five points on each antler have been documented. The rump has an almost concealed white patch with white surrounding hair.
