The red deer inhabits most of Europe, the Caucasian Mountains region, Aatolia, Iran, and parts of western Asia. It also inhabits the Atlas mountains on the edge of Africa; It has been the only living species of deer that lives in Africa.

The red deer has been introduced into other areas, such as Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Peru, Uruguay, Chile and Argentina. In many parts of the world, red deer carcass is used as a staple food.

Red deer are similar, characterized by a four-chambered stomach. The genetic evidence indicates that the red deer, as traditionally defined, is a group of species, the place of a single species, exactly what the group is like. Iпclυye the remains are available.

The closely related and slightly larger American elk, or wapıtı, native to North America and northeast Asia, had been considered a separate species of the red deer, but has recently become established. shed as a different species.

The ancestor of all red deer (and elk) probably originated in Central Asia and resembled the sika deer.

This was the time when red deer were rare in parts of Europe, but they were close to extinction.

Reintroduction and conservation efforts, such as in the UK and Portugal, have resulted in the improvement of red deer populations, while other areas, such as the African continent, have declined. edited to show slippage of politics.
