The Keibul Lamjao National Park is a national park in the Bishnupur district of the state of Manipur in India. The Brow-antlered deer, which was first discovered in Manipur in 1839 and named Cervuseldieldi in 1844 in honour of Lt. Percy Eld – a British officer, was reported an extinct species in 1951.
It was re–discovered in the Keibul Lamjao Park area by the environmentalist and photographer E.P. Gee, which necessitated declaring this reserve park area as a national park to protect and conserve the deer now called Eld’s Deer’s subspecies Brow-antlered Deer (Cervuseldieldi) or Sangai (dancing deer) in Manipuri language
It has a pride of place in the folklore and culture of the Manipur state and is the national animal of the state.
