Best Answer

Deer type animal were not introduce with minor exception. There are many animals in the deer family from whitetail to tiny deer of Africa. What are considered exotics deer from other countries not native to the host country is to provide a controlled hunting population for the people of that country. I many place deer were re introduce back to a place where the population were all destroyed IE reintroduction of elk in Ky and Ar.

The first species of deer to be introduced into Australia was the chital (Indian spotted deer). It came to Australia in the early 1800s, brought by Dr. John Harris, surgeon to the New South Wales Corps, who sought to establish these animals in the farming industry. 400 chital were brought to Australia from Sri Lanka and India, but they did not survive.
