Definition
An alternative spelling of chital, a large Indian deer with a reddish coat and white spots that lives in herds.
Etymology
From Hindi chitāl or Sanskrit chitraka, meaning 'spotted.' The word entered English through British colonial contact with India in the 18th century and refers to the deer's distinctive spotted markings.
Kelly Says
The chital is one of the few deer species that can breed year-round, so you might hear them calling and rutting at any time of year—unlike most deer that have specific mating seasons.
