The complex conundrum of wild deer in Australia 🦌 | Meet the Ferals Ep 3 | ABC Australia

CORRECTIONS: 1) In the group of pictures at 0:43 the deer listed as a rusa deer is actually a white-tailed deer, which does not exist in the wild in Australia. 2) It is important to note that deer are also not native (0:03) to the submerged continent of Zealandia (which includes New Zealand). Thanks to the users who pointed these issues out in the comments.

Original video description: Introduced to Australia as a game animal, feral deer are distributed across the country, although mostly in the south-east, consuming pasture and causing environmental damage. Their impact is debated and they are valued highly by parts of the community making control solutions not so simple.

Meet the Ferals looks at the devastating impact feral animals have on Australia's environment and agriculture and how farmers control introduced pests like cats, goats, pigs, rabbits and wild dogs.

Produced and presented by reporter Prue Adams, this series will focus on a different feral animal each episode. The content has been gathered from the three decades Landline has been on air, with background information and support provided through the Centre for Invasive Species Solutions.
