Beijing has a particular historical association with Père David's deer (Elaphurus davidianus), a species known in Chinese as sibuxiang ("four-unlikes"), which survived extinction only because specimens from the imperial hunting park at Nanyuan were brought to Europe in the 19th century; the species was reintroduced to Beijing in 1985 after becoming extinct in China during the Boxer Rebellion of 1900.
Who acts: Beijing, four unlikes · What happens: have, know, survive, bring, reintroduce, become · To what, where: particular historical association, species, Chinese, extinction, specimens, Europe
