Synonyms: Cervus schomburgki

Wikipedia Abstract

The Schomburgk's deer (Rucervus schomburgki) was a member of the family Cervidae. Native to central Thailand, Schomburgk's deer was described by Edward Blyth in 1863 and named after Sir Robert H. Schomburgk, who was the British consul in Bangkok from 1857–1864. It is thought to have gone extinct by 1938, but there is speculation that the deer might still exist.
