A mellow deer living in a vast mix of forested mountains, forest margins and grasslands is not in a dense forest or bush, thus facilitating rapid run-off. There is a clear difference between daytime and night habitat, where many choose to live on sunward slopes, where the grass is thicker and largely similar to their colours; and nighttime, where the middle or upper of the slopes is uncertain, where the slopes are still high, where the grass is relatively low, so that the enemy can be detected at an early stage in order to escape quickly。
Lifestyle
The size of the group, which tends to vary according to seasonal, natural and man-made factors, ranges from 3-5 to more than 20.
