Nayab deer

As Nayab can be so vague about its models I am assuming this a Red Deer but to me its a bit too stocky and the the face markings are odd.I thought it may have been a Sambar but the antlers are wrong.Anyone like to guess?

Interesting !
I had to google Sambar deer, and fund so many beautyful deer from the East
Could be great to see some models of those .
CollectA made de wonderful Père David's deer, and I suppose that is about it ?
Would Nayab ( or what they are called ) make a Sambar ?
Well, these models are made in China, so this nice fellow could be one of the Sambar species

I would identify it as a sika deer, but that's just what I think

Yes, it could be a sika
I just read thet they do not all have spots

Could it also be a Barasingha, they seem also to look like this figure.

So we can conclude it is a deer, but not a roedeer

I did think of a Sika but it doesn't have the white rump patch of this deer and the models rump is more like a Red deer.
Barasingha have different antlers.
I agree with Susanne it that its a deer but not Roe,Reindeer,White tailed or Moose!

So we are beginning to narrow the species down.

Its hard to say, maybe a Thorold's deer

That's a good guess Andreas, I would say that's the best guess yet, with Susanne's sambar assumption.

A Thorold's Deer would be fantastic but I think if this is may be only by default as their wild boar looks like a Giant forest hog and they still called it a wild boar!

I set up a poll for the deer species here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Also, I would like to find this model.

Certainly, with the painting this could be a Thorold's or White-lipped deer. Nice one Andreas.
