The Corsican red deer is the smallest subspecies of red deer. The even-toed ungulates are ungulates whose weight is borne about equally by the third and fourth toes, rather than mostly or entirely by the third as in perissodactyls. There are about 220 artiodactyl species, including many that are of great economic importance to humans.
The Corsican wildcat is considered to have been introduced to Corsica before the beginning of the 1st millennium. [ 26 ] [ 27 ] A genetic study of a dozen individuals showed that they are closely related to the African wildcat originating in the Middle East.
The Corsican wildcat is an isolated cat population of uncertain taxonomic status that has been variously regarded as a separate species of its own (as Felis reyi), a subspecies of the African wildcat (as Felis lybica reyi), or a population of feral house cats (Felis catus) that were introduced to Corsica around the beginning of the first millennium.
