Axis axis (Erxleben, 1777)

花鹿,别名斑鹿,白斑鹿(Axis axis),是属于鹿科的一种,生活在斯里兰卡,尼泊尔,孟加拉国,和印度的森林地带。是印度森林中最常见的鹿种。背面浅红褐色,具斑点,腹面白色。雄鹿生角,分三叉,可长大75厘米。由于花鹿产于热带,一整年都可以交配。肩高90厘米,体重可达85千克。寿命长约20-30年。 喜群居,通常每群10-50头,其中有一到两只是雄鹿。对人类的接近比较宽容,尤其是生活在受到人类影响的地区的。生活在低纬度的森林,在高纬度森林它们经常被其它的鹿种(水鹿等)替代。主要植物为食,但也会吃掉脱落掉的鹿茸。 花鹿被传入到澳大利亚昆士兰州,美国加利福尼亚,得克萨斯,佛罗里达州和夏威夷群岛。
