BEIJING, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- A series of activities was held at Milu Park, Beijing, capital of China to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the reintroduction of milu deer to China on Sunday.

Milu deer, also known as Pere David's deer, are endemic to China where they bear the nickname "sibuxiang," or "like none of the four" due to their unique features -- a horse's face, a donkey's tail, cow-like hooves and a stag's antlers.

Wild milu deer were once extinct in China and introduced to China from overseas since 1985. The species is now under first-class state protection in the country. After 40 years of unremitting efforts, China has reestablished their wild populations and witnessed a growing population of artificially-bred Milu deer.
