It is a large subspecies with some of the most prominent spots of all subspecies, which is permanent throughout the year. It previously inhabits lowland forests of North China Plain and Northeast China Plain . Due to intensive habitat alterations the subspecies was endangered centuries ago, surviving only in remote areas of northeastern China as well as the Qing Dynasty Qing Imperial Hunting Grounds. Though no surveys have been conducted on the subspecies status, there have been no sightings for many decades and it is reasonable to presume that it is extinct in the wild . Although it is fairly common in zoos and purebred North China sika deer is a valuable breed in the Asian antler farming industry, the lack of suitable habitats and government efforts makes reintroduction impossible.
