Axis deer are also commonly referred to as chital or spotted deer. They are most commonly found member of the deer family in India. It is found across the entire country except in the extreme northern regions. They are mostly seen in large herds of 30 - 50 females with a few stags. However it is not uncommon to see large herds of bachelors numbering upto 100 in areas such as the grasslands of Corbett N.P. They grow to a height of approximately 90 cm at the shoulders and can weigh up to 85 kgs. Their life expectancy ranges from 20 - 30 years. Despite being one of the favorite prey species of predators such as tigers and leopards and only giving birth to a single fawn at a time, their population is quite abundant.
