About 150 milu deer fawns have been spotted recently at Shishou Milu Deer National Nature Reserve in Hubei, according to the reserve's management and protection authority. Milu deer are nicknamed "sibuxiang," or "animal like none of the four," as they have a horse-like face, a donkey-like tail, cow-like hooves, and stag-like antlers. They inhabit marshland and feed on tender grass. China has established three reserves, including the Shishou Milu Deer National Nature Reserve in Hubei Province, to enlarge the population of milu deer. In the 1990s, the Shishou reserve introduced 64 milu deer from abroad in two batches. Close to the Yangtze River, the area has a complete wetland ecosystem and vast pastureland, which is an ideal habitat for milu deer. In recent years, advanced techniques such as drones and infrared cameras facilita

      (230916) -- GANNAN, Sept. 16, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on July 7, 2023 shows bar-headed geese at the Gahai Lake wetland in the Gahai-Zecha National Nature Reserve in Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China's Gansu Province. Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture serves as a vital water reserve for the Yellow River, the second longest waterway in China. Gannan has a 433-kilometer stretch of the Yellow River. The water supplement in Gannan accounted for about half the river's total runoff at the source region. To better guard the ecology of this area, staff members of the national nature reserves in Gannan have spared no efforts in protecting wild animals and plants on the plateau. Thanks to their long-term hard work, the deterioration of the natural and ecological environment in the region has been radically curbed, and Gannan has witnessed the rising population of diverse wild animals.

                    (230807) -- SHISHOU, Aug. 7, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Engineer Zhang Yuming takes photos of milu deer at Shishou Milu Deer National Nature Reserve in central China's Hubei Province, Aug. 2, 2023. Milu deer at Shishou Milu Deer National Nature Reserve mate between June and August every year, during which the males fight each other for the privilege to stay together with as many females as they wish. To ensure a safe and tranquil environment for their reproduction, rangers here have been spending more time and efforts patrolling the nature reserve during this period. After years of efforts by protectors and continuous improvement of the local ecological environment, the population of milu deer at the nature reserve has increased rapidly, nearing 2,000 to date. There are more than 10 naturally formed breeding groups in varying sizes among these milu deer, and more baby milu deer are expected to come to the world after mating season this year.
