Fallow Deer

(黇鹿)

Fallow Deer

Fallow Deer's native habitat is Europe, so they are also known as "European fawns." With the migration of Europeans, Fallow Deer have now been introduced to South America, Africa, West Asia, the United States, etc. Male fallow deer have renewable horns, which are replaced by new ones every April. Fallow deer are lively and bold, very good at running and jumping. When encountering a dangerous situation, they can easily jump over two-meter tall obstacles, and they will also raise their tail and expose the white hair on the hips to warn their companions to escape.

Anecdotes

⦿ Each Fallow Deer has a unique pattern above the upper lip on the nose, between the nostrils. Much like human fingerprints, this pattern will never change.
