Nine milu deer fawns were born at the Daqingshan Nature Reserve in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, said the reserve's management bureau.

It is the first generation of offspring born to the milu deer that were released into the wild in the region.

In September 2021, to rebuild the wild population of the endangered animal, China released 27 milu deer into the reserve.
