Mammalogy Notes (Oct 2023)
New records of Capreolus capreolus Linnaeus, 1758 in the Monti Lepini (Lazio, Central Italy)
Abstract
The Roe Deer was present in the Monti Lepini (Southern Lazio) up to the first half of the nineteenth century, then it went locally extinct. In this note we report four new records of this species that testify for the current existence of a (likely very small) local population, which would represent the only other wild ungulate in the area, in addition to the very common Wild Boar.
