*** About White-tailed Deer

***: The White-tailed Deer, known scientifically as Odocoileus virginianus, is a medium-sized deer native to the Americas. It is easily identified by its namesake white underside to its tail, which it displays prominently as a signal of alarm. Adapted to a range of habitats from forests to prairies and even urban fringes, these deer are highly adaptable and play crucial roles in their ecosystems. Males, known as bucks, are recognized by their antlers which regenerate each year, while females, referred to as does, are generally smaller and lack antlers. The species is a vital link in the food chain, influencing the vegetation patterns and serving as prey for large predators.
