DEER
There are 45 species of deer.
  • Eat grass, leaves, berries, acorns, mushrooms, wild fruit, sapling, shoots and crops.
  • Male deer grow new antlers each year.
  • Reindeer's nose warms the air it breathes before it gets to its lungs.
  • Can swim extremely well and jump high.
  • Eat moss as it contains a chemical that stops their body from freezing.
  • Fawns are born with fur covered in white spots. These spots help them to blend in while they lie silently in nests on the forest floor.
  • Fawns are born without any scent.  This means that predators cannot smell them.
  • Caribou (Reindeer) are the only species in which the female has antlers.
  • Antlers are different for every deer.
  • Raise their tails as a warning sign to others.
  • Can live for about 10 years in the wild.
  • Fighting male deer can lock antlers and starve to death.
  • Reindeer like the taste of bananas.
  • Reindeer's hair is hollow inside, like a tube.
  • Reindeer have golden eyes in the summer and blue eyes in the winter - this change helps them to see at lower light levels.
  • ​Whitetail deer can spring at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour.
  • Hartebeests evade their predators by running in zigzag patterns.​​​
