. Deer prefer living in "edge" habitats, such as
the area between woods and open area.
There they can use the wooded areas for cover
and shelter from danger and the open area
for grazing.
. Males, or Bucks, have antlers that they shed in
winter and grow anew in April.
. When a Deer senses danger, it takes off
running. lifting its tail and exposing the white
underside. This white "flag" alerts the rest of
the herd.
