The released deer weigh up to 200 kg and range from newborns to 10-year-olds.

Each has ID microchips implanted and some have GPS collars to allow researchers to trace their migratory routes and habits.

"We can offer timely help in case they have difficulty adapting to the environment," said Bai Jiade, director of Beijing Milu Ecological Research Center.
