Three deer were captured on camera frolicking and running on the grassland in Shawan County, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

The deer belongs to a species named Tianshan wapti, native to the Tianshan mountains range in Xinjiang.

The species is under second-class state protection. Currently, there are less than 10,000 of them in China.
