We applied the in situ hybridization technique to the Hokkaido sika deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis) caudal glands using probes designed from the red deer (Cervus elaphus) prolactin receptor cDNA. Prolactin receptor mRNA expression was consistently detected in the secretory epithelial cells collected from fawns and lactating hinds. This suggests that the presence of developed caudal glands during late pregnancy and lactation may be caused by increased blood levels of prolactin. During late pregnancy and lacation, visual range is limited for deer in forests and grasslands because of the flourishing leaves and sprigs. Therefore, we suggest that the scent emitted from the caudal gland in a particular season coordinates with and reinforces the visual alarm effect of the rump patch and tail.

Measurements of shoulder height, body length, hind-foot length, and total body mass were collected from 309 Hokkaido sika deer (Cervus nippon yesoensis Heude, 1884) (115 males and 194 females) and analyzed statistically for sexual dimorphism and seasonal body mass fluctuations. The von Bertalanffy equation was fitted to the growth curves that resulted. Asymptotic shoulder height, body length, and hind-foot length were 106.2, 112.6, and 52.9 cm in males and 94.8, 103.9, and 49.4 cm in females, respectively. Total body mass showed distinct seasonal fluctuations, ranging between 102.8 and 151.0 kg in adult males and 68.0 and 99.8 kg in adult females. Male/female ratios in shoulder height, body length, hind-foot length, and total mass were 1.12, 1.08, 1.07, and 1.51, respectively. These results indicate that the Hokkaido sika deer is one of the largest subspecies, at least in skeleton size. A larger body and longer hind foot would seem to be evolutionary adaptations to Hokkaido's cold, snowy environment.
