The European Fallow Deer is a gentle animal with beautiful spotted fur. They are known for their graceful movements and can often be seen in groups, munching on grass and leaves in the forest.
Habitat: Forests
The European Fallow Deer has a reddish-brown summer coat distinctly marked with white spots on its back, setting it apart from other unspotted deer species. Its winter coat is typically darker, uniform grey-brown. Males are easily identified by their large, flattened, shovel-shaped (palmate) antlers.
