Pics i posted are from deer on islands in that area.( , virgin islands national park,st croix and then the japenese species on puerto rico( they have brown ones too)
That was what i was looking at( not northern species, kek)
Yesterday i was leaning towards deer, but then someone posted the pic of Marina and the norns, and i started looking at other goat species.
( epstein could have bought and brought a certain species of goat that they like to use for their ceremonies/sacrifices. Also many people get a couple of goats to take care of weeds. His island is pretty small for it to be a deer native to it. ( people said deer will swim between islands?)
Here is some info on deer species nearby, that could have travelled to little st james.
HOW THOSE WHITETAIL DEER GOT TO THE ISLANDS
Dear Source,
Ever wonder where the deer on the islands came from ? No, they are not native to the islands. They are actually descendants of the Texas whitetail that were imported to the islands by a dedicated group of individuals (my father included) in the early '50s who wanted to hunt big game.
The first group of deer were transported to St. Croix and kept on the Lawaetz farm for several months in quarantine. The group was then divided, and half of the deer were shipped to St. Thomas by sailboat. Upon arrival on St. Thomas they were then sorted and distributed in small groups to Lovenlund, Tutu, Frenchman's Bay and the Lindqvist property by Red Hook. These areas were picked because of the large tracts of pasture land available.
There was a moratorium of five years on hunting to enable the herd to stabilize and reproduce. On the first day of the first hunt, there was excitement for many a hunter, including myself, who at the time was 12.
For many years there were hundreds of deer on St.Thomas, but their habitat was taken away for housing developments, and wild dogs took their toll. Even so, I am excited that a few still survive in the wild and hope that the remainder can be protected so the people of the island can enjoy them.

Health of St. John’s Deer Population Raises Concern
Deer sightings were a rarity on St. John 20 years ago, and were limited to the remotest parts of the island at dawn or dusk.
Now if you step out of your door in the early morning you’re likely to hear hoof beats of retreating deer. If you drive any distance down the Northshore Road, you’ll see their tails disappearing into the roadside bush.
With no natural predators on St. John, the deer population has soared, but the growth of the overall population may not be an indication of its health. In recent months several people have reported seeing deer that were covered with ticks.
“On April 4, 2017, I walked the grounds of Caneel Bay and photographed some deer,” wrote one visitor from Denmark in a letter to the Source. “Taking a closer look at the photos right now I realize that they are severely attacked by ticks, on their heads and necks. The deer should be treated by a veterinarian, which is the reason for my contact. The situation must be intolerable for the poor creatures.”
In 2014, a groundskeeper at Caneel Bay Resort, renowned for his compassionate treatment of animals, contacted Palminteri to get medical assistance for the herd of deer that dwelled on the resort’s property.
Upon discovering that the deer liked to eat a particular seed pod, Palminteri and the groundskeeper laced the pods with tick-killing medicine, and the groundskeeper hand-fed them to the deer. This quelled the infestation for several months.

Growing Deer Population Threatens Native Species—or How Bambi is Morphing into Godzilla
Whitetail deer were brought to the Virgin Islands from the US mainland more than once, and when a St. Thomas family imported deer to their Lameshure property on St. John in the 1920’s, they were looking to provide hunters with a steady source of sport and meat. They had no idea that decades later, the population of deer would explode and endanger the entire ecosystem of the island.
Herds of deer now roam unmolested through carefully tended gardens and natural protected areas as they consume almost every type of plant species on the island.
