Talk:Chital

Untitled
The first paragraph of this article calls the chital a "large" dear, yet late describes it as otherwise: "A chital stands about 90 cm tall at the shoulder and masses about 85 kg." A height of 90 cm is not large at all, in comparison to human size nor other species of deer. Why? Slow Graffiti 05:29, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Plural
What is the plural of Chital? --CyclePat (talk) 03:45, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

antler eating?
I'm going to need a citation to believe that a deer eats it's own antlers. 142.36.61.58 (talk) 22:01, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Taxonomy section
I see this was nominated for GA, but it does not fullfill the comprehensiveness criterion, as there is no taxonomy section, and no mention of the two subspecies or what separates them. It would also seem that all info at Sri Lankan axis deer could simply be merged into here. FunkMonk (talk) 16:06, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Pronunciation
I'm a bit confused by the pronunciation listed on the page, as it must be wrong, considering it uses "ch" instead of "tʃ"? I would just fix that myself if that were the only issue, but I'm unsure whether the "i" should be "ɪ" or "iː" (or perhaps it is "i" like in "serious"?), and then a little unsure whether the "a", listed as "ə" should be "æ" or if "ə" is correct...

So yeah, in summary I don't know enough to fix this pronunciation, but would be really happy if someone would get it fixed! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.11.184.239 (talk) 18:18, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Inquiry
Why is it that the Axis (genus) redirecred here to this page? I think the genus is worthy for article creation. Is this the type species for the above named genus? Thanks Jp2593 (talk) 17:18, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
