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 recent years, advanced techniques such as drones and infrared cameras facilit
