The complex conundrum of wild deer in Australia 🦌 | Meet the Ferals Ep 3 | ABC Australia
CORRECTIONS: 1) In the group of pictures at 0:43 the deer listed as a rusa deer is actually a whitetailed deer, which does not exist in the wild in Australia. 2) It is important to note that deer are also not native (0:03) to the submerged continent of Zealandia (which includes New Zealand). Thanks to the users who pointed these issues out in the comments.
Original video description: Introduced to Australia as a game animal, feral deer are distributed across the country, although mostly in the southeast, consuming pasture and causing environmental damage. Their impact is debated and they are valued highly by parts of the community making control solutions not so simple. Watch the full series here:    • Meet The Ferals | Landline | ABC Aust... Â
