A major game species of North America found alone or in small groups. The deer’s coat is reddish-brown in the spring and summer and turns grey-brown throughout the fall and winter. The tail, which is white on the underside, is held aloft when the deer is alarmed or running. A medium-sized deer, the adult White-tailed Deer typically weighs between 90 to 220 lbs, with the record weight being close to 400 lbs. The male is known as a “buck,” and the female is known as a “doe.” A young deer, or “fawn,” is born with white spots, but will lose them during the first summer. The male has forwardly curved antlers, which grow to their largest size when the deer is 3-4 years old..
