Pakistan does not control Dachigam. It's in Indian territory. And that's not going to change regardless of what any Pakistani thinks and wishes for. Using the same logic, Indians can claim all the parks in Baltistan and PoK. It's ridiculous that Kashmir stag is included in wildlife of Pakistan but not in wildlife of India. Pakistan is essentially a small outcrop of the Indian subcontinent when it comes to wildlife, having no elephants, gaur or rhinos. I'd like to know which genius decided to add these to the mammals of Pakistan stub

released from central asiatic deer

The Kashmir stag (Cervus wallichi hanglu), also known as Hangul, lives in the mixed deciduous and coniferous forests that grow on the mountain slopes and valleys of Kashmir at the western end of the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalayan Mountain System. The Kashmir stag tends to migrate between higher and lower elevations following the melting snows to higher altitudes in the spring and return to lower elevations for the winter months. Rutting calls of Central Asian Red Deer are primitive but tend to resemble the bugles of Wapitis more so than the roaring of the European Red Deer. For example, the Kashmir stag's mating call starts out with a roar like a European Red Deer but ends more like a bugle of an American Elk.

I removed this from the central asiatic deer article, because it is not clear (at least to me) if this subspecies belongs to the central asian primordial subgroup of red deer. I will include that in this article perhaps and clean it up.--Altaileopard (talk) 14:38, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
