Endangered subspecies of Sika deer Nature:
Sika have rapidly disappeared from much of their natural range due to habitat loss. Sika are woodland deer characteristic of broad- leaved and mixed forests where snowfall does not exceed 10-20 cm and snow-free sites are also available. Large forest tracts with dense understory and occasional clearings are ideal. Six subspecies are nearly extinct - in Taiwan, Japan's Ryukyu Islands, China, Siberia, Manchuria and Korea. In some places, the deer have been uncontrollably hunted or their forests have been destroyed. In others, predators such as wolves and wild dogs have taken their toll. In China, the deer's antlers are used to make medicine. The Ryukyu subspecies is listed as endangered.
