White-tailed Deer

Standing three feet at the shoulder and weighing up to 450 pounds, the white-tailed deer lives in southern Canada and south to northern South America. The deer gather in small herds and feed during the day and night on branches and leaves of bushes in the winter. However, they travel mostly at dawn and dusk. An alarmed deer bounds swiftly into dense vegetation, raising its tail in alarm. The female gives birth to one to two fawns after seven months.

The white-tailed deer is not an endangered species. There are more white-tailed deer in North America today than there were when the first European settlers arrived at Jamestown. These deer are well adapted to modern suburban landscaping, with its mixture of young woods and low shrubs. While deer are widely hunted, in the US approximately as many deer die in encounters with motor vehicles as in encounters with sportsmen.
