A non-native Fallow deer forages near the Education center of the Point Reyes National Seashore Association. In addition to the native Tule elk and black-tailed deer, three species of non-native deer reside in the park. The Fallow deer, a species native to the Mediteranean and Asia, was introduced when it was purchased from the San Francisco Zoo in the 1940s and released by a local landowner prior to the establishment of the Seashore.
