Fallow Buck: are a medium-sized deer with more colourations than any other deer. The three main colours in Australia are black, white and reddish-brown with white spots. During the March-April rut they roar and grunt, and fight aggressively. Historically there have been many liberations throughout Australia and New Zealand, with stock originating from England, Denmark, Sweden and Greece. Antlers They have brow and trez (third) tines, and are usually well palmated. Weight (male)150-200 pounds (68-91 kgs).
Javan Rusa: are the largest of the two Rusa Deer in the South Pacific. During the rut, battles between roaring stags can be viscious, with serious wounds inflicted.
Originating from Indonesia, the first Javan Rusa were introduced to Australia, New Caledonia and New Zealand in the late 18th Century.
Antlers have been recorded as long as 40 inches in length, though a mature male will average 33-35 inches.
Weight>250-300 pounds (113-136 kgs).
Axis: are known as ‘Chital’ in India. Regarded as the most beautiful deer in Australia, their reddish fawn coat is covered in permanent white spots. As is usual of tropical deer, breeding is year round. Introduced from Sri Lanka in the mid 1800’s, they have thrived in the tropical parts of Australia and are often found in large herds. Antlers are a beautiful lyre-shape, and are typically six points. Mature males range from 25-30 inches in antler length. Weight (male)150-200 pounds (68-91 kgs).
Red Stag: are a majestic deer with large, impressive antlers. Stags develop a neck mane during the April Rut. At this time they will ‘roar’ like a cow, wallow and fight aggressively to attract a harem of females. Animals originating from England and Scotland were released throughout Australia during the 18th Century. Antlers A good set of Antlers will have six points or more on either side. Weight (male) 300-350pounds (136-159 kgs).
The Water Buffalo: Between 1825 and 1843, about 80 buffalos were brought to Melville Island and Cobourg Peninsula for meat. When these settlements were abandoned in the mid-1900s, the buffalos soon colonised the permanent and semipermanent swamps and freshwater springs of the Top End of the Northern Territory.
They were used in the British settlements to mainly pull carts. These critters can grow up to 180cm tall and weigh up to 1200kg.
Australia has a mixture of the two types of buffalo: the river type from western Asia, with curled horns, and the swamp type from eastern Asia, with swept-back horns.
