Another postcard from Taiwan! This postcard shows Formosan sika deer (台灣梅花鹿). This kind of deer could not be found in natural environment probably since 1969 due to the influence of human activities, like development, or killing of deer. Now you could find them in some zoos, and the amount of the deer is increasing. There is a great discussion on whether to release some deer back to the nature.
