The White-Tailed Deer is a long-legged, fast-moving
mammal. The genus and species of the White-Tailed Deer are Odocoileus
virginianus. This deer is found over most of North and Central America
and northern parts of South America. It lives in deciduous forests,
conifer forests, rainforests, grasslands, farm land, marshes, and even
deserts. It has a life span of about 9 to 12 years. Anatomy: White-Tailed Deer are about 3 to 3 1/2 feet (0.9 to 1 m) tall at shoulder. Bucks (males) weight up to 400 pounds (180 kg), does (females) weigh up to 200 pounds (90 kg). Fawns (babies) are usually born in May or June. Only bucks have antlers, which are branched; the antlers are shed each year, and later regrow. Behavior: Deer are shy herbivores (plant-eaters) who spend most of the day eating leaves, grass, bark, acorns, and other plant material. Does often travel in small herds with their fawns. |
