How many baby Eld’s deers are in a litter?
A Eld’s deer (Cervus eldii) usually gives birth to around 1 babies.
Each of those little ones spend around 240 days as a fetus before they are released into the wild. Upon birth, they weight 4.69 kg (10.34 lbs) and measure 2.9 cm (0′ 2″). They are a member of the Cervidae family (genus: Cervus). An adult Eld’s deer grows up to a size of 1.65 meter (5′ 5″).
To have a reference: Humans obviously usually have a litter size of one ;). Their babies are in the womb of their mother for 280 days (40 weeks) and reach an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″). They weight in at 62 kg (137 lbs), which is obviously highly individual, and reach an average age of 75 years.
Eld’s deer (Panolia eldii), also known as the thamin or brow-antlered deer, is an endangered species of deer indigenous to South Asia. The species was first described and given its binomial name from specimens obtained in Manipur in India in 1839. The Manipur name for the deer was noted as Sungnaee and it was described in 1842 by John McClelland as being “nondescript” but it was given the name Cervus eldi by Guthrie. in honour of Lt. Percy Eld, a British officer who was attached to the residency at Manipur. The three subspecies of the Eld’s deer are:Panolia eldii eldi: The Manipuri brow-antlered deer is found in Manipur, India. It is called sangai in Meitei.P. e. thamin: The Burmese brow-antlered deer found in Myanmar, and westernmost Thailand.P. e. siamensis: The Thai brow-antlered deer is found in Cambodia, China, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam, and should perhaps be treated as a separate species. The population on the Chinese island of Hainan is sometimes considered another subspecies, P. e. hainanus, but this is not supported by genetic evidence. It was described by Lydekker in 1915.
