Description: In summer, the deer have red-brown fur that changes to gray-brown in winter. The tail is characteristically long and is white underneath. It is one of the most popular targets of American big-game hunters, but because of strict conservation laws regulating deer hunting, the total number of these deer remains almost constant. The full-grown antlers of the male are arched forward and have five or six points. The animals are very swift and canter with their heads and tails erect.

Range/Habitat: Farmlands, brushy areas, woods. Southern half of south tier of Canadian provinces; most of U.S. except most of California, Nevada, Utah, northern Arizona, southwest Colorado, and northwest New Mexico.

Adaptations: If alarmed, the Whitetail raises, or “flags,” its tail, exhibiting a large, bright flash of white; this “hightailing” communicates danger to other deer or helps a fawn follow its mother in flight.

Two fawns, born in the spring, comprise a typical brood; the young have red-brown fur flecked with white spots that disappear during their first winter.

Diet: Herbivore. Although primarily nocturnal, deer may be active at any time, grazing on green plants, including aquatic ones in the summer; eating acorns, beechnuts and other nuts and corn in the fall; and in winter, browsing on wood vegetation, including the twigs and buds of viburnum, birch, maple and many conifers.

Remarks: Females have no antlers. Males begin growing them several months after birth, shed them each winter, and develop them anew each spring and summer. The age of a deer cannot be told by the size of the antlers or the number of pints (tines), for antler development is determined by nutrition, not age.
