Fun Facts About Deer
Deer belong to the Cervidae family, which also includes elk, moose, and reindeer. Male deer (called bucks or stags) grow a new set of antlers every year, while females (does) usually don’t have antlers at all — the one exception is the reindeer, where both males and females grow them. A baby deer is called a fawn, and its white spots help it blend into dappled sunlight on the forest floor for the first few months of its life. Deer are found on every continent except Antarctica, and different species — like the white-tailed deer, mule deer, red deer, and roe deer — are adapted to everything from dense forests to open desert.
