A maximum card from Iran, with The CASPIAN RED DEER (Cervus elaphus maral).
"The Caspian Red Deer, (Cervus elaphus maral) (Armenian: Մարալ), (Azerbaijani: Maral) is the easternmost subspecies of Red deer that is native to areas between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea such as Crimea, Asia Minor, the Caucasus Mountains region bordering Europe and Asia, and along the Caspian Sea region in Iran.
This animal is sometimes referred to as Maral or Noble deer."

"Iran (i/ɪˈrɑːn/ or /aɪˈræn/;[8] Persian: ایران; [ʔiˈɾɒn] ( listen)), officially the Islamic Republic of Iran, is a country in Central Asia and Western Asia.[9][10]
The name "Iran" which means The Land of Aryans[11] has been in use natively since the Sassanian era and came into use internationally in 1935, before which the country was known to the Western world as Persia ( /ˈpɜrʒə/ or /ˈpɜrʃə/).[8][12]
Both "Persia" and "Iran" are used interchangeably in cultural contexts; however, "Iran" is the name used officially in political contexts.[13][14"

How RED is a Red Deer? I guess the visibility of the pigment depends on the amount of light.
