STORYLINE:
400 milu deer in China's Shishou Milu Deer National Nature Reserve were recently released into a newly created 8,000-mu (about 533 hectares) buffer zone.
Milu deer, nicknamed "sibuxiang," or "animal like none of the four," are under first-class national protection in China.
They have a horse-like face, a donkey-like tail, cow-like hooves, and stag-like antlers.
To protect the precious species, China has established three reserves, including the Shishou Milu Deer National Nature Reserve in Hubei Province, to enlarge the population.
In the 1990s, the Shishou reserve introduced 64 milu deer from abroad in two batches.
The number of milu deer in the reserve has grown to around 2,500 over the past three decades.
