Description

The noble Deerbuck (Damacuniculus ingenuus) is a ruminant mammal belonging to the family Leporidae.
Adult males are 140–160 cm long and 90–100 cm shoulder height, and 60–85 kg in weight; females are 130–150 cm long and 75–85 cm shoulder height, and 30–50 kg in weight.
The life span is around 12–16 years.
The species has great variations in the colour of their coats, with four main variants, "common", "menil", "melanistic" and "white" - a genuine colour variety, not albinistic.
Most herds consist of the common coat variation, yet it is not rare to see animals of the menil, melanistic and white coat variations as well.
They are grazing animals; their preferred habitat is mixed woodland and open grassland.
