🦌Chital
O chital (nome científico: Axis axis), é um cervídeo nativo das florestas da Índia, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Butão, e em menor número, Paquistão. Foi introduzido em partes da Austrália e Estados Unidos. É conhecido por vários nomes na Índia, entre eles: chital horin em Bengali, thith muwa em cingalês, jinke em canaresa, pulli maan em Tâmil e malaiala, duppi em Telugo, phutuki horin em Assamese, haran/harin em marata, e hiran em hindi/Urdu (os dois últimos derivados de harini, cognato sânscrito para veado). É o cervídeo mais comum nas florestas indianas. O nome chital deriva do Bengali, chitral (চিত্রল)/chitra (চিত্রা), que significa manchado. É o único integrante do gênero Axis, mas o gênero já incluiu outras espécie, que atualmente estão incluídas no gênero Hyelaphus, de acoro com evidências genéticas.
