http://www.whitesoxteamproshop.com/t-shirts/ , May 7 (Xinhua) -- Fifteen milus, or Pere David's deer, have recently been found dead from unknown causes in a nature reserve in north China's Hebei Province.
Fifteen out of the 20 milu deer in the Luanhe Upper River National Nature Reserve have died since last August, when the body of an adult male deer was discovered, said Yuan Minlong, head of the reserve.
"The first was believed to be bitten by a snake, as the chest and mouth of the body was injured and swollen," he said.
The skeleton of a deer calf was found last September. Another deer calf's body was found in January with severe injuries on its waist, which was suspected to be caused by collision with other deer.
"We found another body of an adult female milu in March and found blood and swelling in its internal organs after dissection," Yuan said. "After that, 11 milus died and most of them were adults in their prime and had swollen waist and blood on their mouths and anuses."
Samples of the milus bodies have been sent to animal quarantine authorities in Beijing for research and analysis, he said.
Among all five surviving milu deer, one was born in 2013 and four were born last year, he said.
"There are still 100 sika deer and a dozen red deer, all in good health, but it has been so unfortunate for the milus," Milu keeper Wang Zhen said.
The milu is a species of deer unique to China. It has antlers with a main branched anterior segment, with the points extending backwards. The deer's summer coat is reddish tan in color and becomes woollier and dark grey in the winter.
Overhunting and the loss of its habitat led to the near extinction of the species in the early 20th century in China. The species were reintroduced to China from Britain in the 1980s.

SYDNEY, Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- Sharks are a vital part of the marine ecosystem, often thought to be dangerous and deadly creatures, but for Australian diver Rick Anderson, they are good friends.
Nestled in the pristine beaches of popular Australian tourist location Port Macquarie, Rick Anderson, the owner of Rick's Diving School, has made an unlikely friend in a Port Jackson shark that was born close to one of his frequented diving locations a few years ago.
Anderson told Xinhua on Thursday that his relationship with his "true dinosaur" friend began at birth when he came across a freshly hatched group of sharks.
"I came across some fresh hatched ones poking around on the bottom, I approached one just to show my dive students that were with me at the time," Anderson said.
"I had it sitting on my hand, patting her, and scratching her, and that went on for a couple of months because I saw her fairly regularly," he said.
This out of the ordinary relationship between the experienced diving instructor, and his bullhead shark friend -- known for their large, blunt head -- continued as he would regularly visit her as she grew.
"I would see her around that particular reef, and she became more and more familiar with me to the point where she would come up for a cuddle of her own accord," Anderson said.
"She would swim up, tap me on the legs, or just swim straight up to my face until I held my arms out," Anderson said.
"She would lay on my arms and let me give her a bit of a scratch under the chin, or on top of the head, and snuggle in, and then when I open my arms back up, she would just cruise away." he added.
The city of Port Macquarie attracts thousands of local, and international tourists every year who come to see the beaches and local attractions, and Anderson said that visitors to the area can also get up close and personal with his 1.7-meter-long friend.
"She comes to me, she will swim past other dive.
