接觸鹿隻守則

大坵島的梅花鹿，是1981年由當時台北圓山動物園致贈連江縣農業改良場的種源。農業局後於1992年全數將8雌5雄共13隻放養至大坵島上。

The sika deer on Daqiu Island were originally given to the Lienchiang. County Agricultural Experiment Station for breeding in 1981 by what was then the Yuanshan Zoo in Taipei. In 1992, the Bureau of Agriculture transported the entire herd of eight females and five males to Daqiu Island.

1. 碼頭及民宿區的梅花鹿較親人，接觸時宜降低音量、避免大動作，勿讓孩童單獨接觸。鹿隻出現跺腳、噴氣、頭                由低往上抬、斜眼視人時，立即緩步遠離。

The sika deer in the wharf and guesthouse areas are relatively tame. If you come into contact with them,speak  softly and avoid large movements, and do not allow children to approach them unattended. If the deer  stamp their feet, snort, make upwards movements with their heads, or look at you sideways, you should      immediately walk away slowly.

2. 餵食植物宜挑選長且葉子位於前端的枝條。

 When feeding the deer, choose plants with long stems and leafy front ends.

3.三分叉鹿角雄鹿，11月至翌年2月交配季節常有攻擊威脅行為。

 During the mating season, from November to February, antlered stag buck often exhibit threatening behaviour  and may charge.

4.幼鹿出生於6~10月，勿任意觸摸或抱走致使母鹿棄養。

Deer young are born from June to October. Do not touch or hold the fawns, as this may cause the mothers to                 abandon them.

5.禁帶貓狗寵物上島，避免危害鹿隻或造成緊迫。

To avoid harm or distress to the deer, pet cats and dogs are banned from the island.

6.持續檢驗尚未檢出人畜共通結核病陽性鹿隻，但多數感染體外寄生蟲，不宜過度親近避免遭硬蜱類叮咬，感染致                 命萊姆病。

Ongoing inspections have yet to detect cases of zoonotic tuberculosis. However, most deer are infected with        ectoparasites and it is inadvisable to get too close to them as tick bites can transmit Lyme disease, which is                      potentially fatal.
