As i have covered many times on the channel before the UK has lost the majority of it's large animals. The UK used to be home to bear, lynx and wolves but today the largest land predator in the UK is The European badger. The one group of large animals that are still thriving in the UK are deer and in this video i will be going through all 6 species species of deer that can be found in the UK. Only 2 of the deer found in Britain are native and the other 4 species have been introduced over the years. Let me know which British deer species is your favorite in the comments down below?
