The White Tailed Deer

     The white-tailed deer are in the Odocoileus Virginianus family and can be known as the Virginia deer or simply as the whitetail. The White-tailed deer can be found east of the Rocky Mountains, but can't be found in 5 US states! The land these magnificent creatures live in is filled with coniferous trees which has been favorable to the white-tailed deer. Adult white-tails have reddish-brown coats in summer and a duller grayish-brown one in winter. Male deer are known as bucks, while a female is known as a doe.White-tailed deer are the smallest members of the North American deer family. Amazing, isn't it.




The Deer's Endangerment

     The Bawean Deer is an endangered breed of the deer with only about 300 left in existence. The Bawean Deer live only on the island of Bawean, a very small island that would take about three laps around the coastline to qualify as a full marathon and was rich in natural resources covered by a thick forest that made the perfect home for the watchful Bawean Deer which were believed to have lived in various parts of the island before the 19th century. Male Siberian Musk Deers have a substance called musk which has a smell that attracts females, and humans, putting the deer on the brink of extinction. Humans hunt the musk deer to make its musk into medicine and perfume.
