Yezoshika
The Yezo sika deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis) is one of the many subspecies of the sika deer found on the island of Hokkaido. Mainly a forest-dwelling deer, they prefer forested areas that have a dense understory. The sika that inhabit the island of Hokkaido are indigenous, although it is not known whether they originated there or migrated from the main island of Japan. It is thought they may have traveled across the strait between the islands.
