The winter coat is of a brownish wash. These deer, along with the Tibetan red deer are the largest subspecies of Central Asian red deer. Older adult males may carry six tines on each antler similar to wapiti subspecies. Also, unlike other Central Asian red deer subspecies, females do have short neck-manes during the winter.
