A new for Russia’s fauna deer species appeared in Primorye

This deer usually lives near the river that connects China, North Korea and Russia. In the analysed lists of Russia’s and USSR’s fauna, this species was never mentioned starting from Przevalsky expeditions. So, the water deer can be considered a new fauna species in Russia.
