Deer of Great Britain
There are six types of deer living wild in Great Britain:[1] the Scottish red deer, roe deer, fallow deer, sika deer, Reeves's muntjac, and the Chinese water deer.[2] Of those, Scottish red and roe deer are native and have lived in the isles throughout the Holocene. Fallow deer have been reintroduced twice, by the Romans and the Normans, after dying out in the last ice age. The other three are escaped or released alien species.

gollark: Basically every cheap phone I've had just broke from me damaging it in some way, while your expensive iPhones have had some sort of weird internal failure, which is kind of funny.
gollark: I'd like to replace it, but obviously now isn't really a great time for that, and there... aren't really any good replacements.
