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.
