Description

WHITETAIL DEER- White-tailed deer, the smallest members of the North American deer family, are found from southern Canada to South America. Adult white-tails have reddish-brown coats in summer which fade to a duller grayish-brown in winter. Male deer, called bucks, are easily recognizable in the summer and fall by their prominent set of antlers, which are grown annually and fall off in the winter.  “white-tailed” refers to the white underside of the deer’s tail, which it displays when on alert.
