This Axis Deer wandered through our yard one morning this week. I thought I was seeing things. I knew it was not a fawn, but what was it? Upon further internet search, I found it was introduced into Texas from India in 1932. It was slow, calm, and allowed me to take several pictures of him before slowly walking away. Awesome creature!!
