The rarest of mammals in California are the Whitetail deer. The rest of the New World, from Northern Canada to South Peru, is the domain of his animal.
The three subspecies are the Columbian, Coues, and Idaho Whitetail Deer. The Idaho Whitetail is the most widespread, ranging from Modoc County to El Dorado County, and a buck shot at Topaz Lake, Mono County, in the 1890's. The Coues was wiped out from the Colorado River Valley in 1984. The Columbian is the rarest of the lot, and doesn't live in California. You can still see Idaho Whitetail, though they are the last of the Whitetails in California.

Asiatic Cheetah
The Asiatic Cheetah is a subspecies of Cheetah, and was driven to the brink of extinction. Today, only 75-100 Cheetahs live in the un-fragmented areas in western Pakistan and eastern Iran. In the 1940's, the Cheetah was driven out of India. Reintroduction projects are starting in southern Russia. The other locations are in the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Predesh, Chhatisgarh, Karnataka, and Kerala in India.
