The only type of deer found on Mauritius island is the introduced species known as the Axis deer, or chital (Axis axis). Originally from the Indian subcontinent, these deer were brought to the island in the 18th century for hunting purposes. They have adapted to the local environment, and their population has grown, impacting local ecosystems. There are no native deer species on Mauritius.
