Schomburgk's Deer The Schomburgk's Deer was a deer species native to Thailand. Their appearance had striking resemblance to Barasingha. Conversion of grassland and swamp areas to agricultural land in order to facilitate large-scale production of rice for export resulted in loss of habitat of Schomburgk's Deer. In the beginning of the 20th century, Schomburgk's Deer was also subjected to large-scale hunting which finally led to its extinction by 1930s. The last Schomburgk's Deer in captivity was killed in 1938, thus marking the end of this species.
