Lady Amherst's pheasant

The first animals arrived at the park in 1928, including two Lady Amherst's pheasants, a golden pheasant, and five red junglefowl.

The scientific name commemorates Lady Amherst, as does Lady Amherst's Pheasant.

The forests surrounding Wenhai Village are home to many species of plants and animals, including musk deer and Lady Amherst's pheasants.

Lady Amherst's Pheasant, (C. amherstiae)

The Lady Amherst's Pheasant, Chrysolophus amherstiae, is a bird of the order Galliformes and the family Phasianidae.

His first wife became the namesake of Lady Amherst's Pheasant; it was at her instigation that the species was introduced from Asia to Bedfordshire.

Goodwin was also a longtime advocate for the plight of two rare pheasant species-the golden pheasant and the Lady Amherst's Pheasant.

The Golden Pheasant is commonly found in zoos and aviaries, but often as impure specimens that have the similar Lady Amherst's Pheasant in their lineage.

The Golden Pheasant is native to western China, and Lady Amherst's Pheasant to Tibet and westernmost China, but both have been widely introduced elsewhere.

Widespread throughout its large range, the Lady Amherst's Pheasant is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

The Putteridge estate is a mixture of arable farmland and woodland; as well as the occasional visiting muntjac and fallow deer, the estate is home to Lady Amherst's Pheasant (Chrysolophus amherstiae) as well as the more common pheasant.
