Whitetail Deer

By Jennifer Weiland

Thank you for reading my brochure. Whitetail deer are my favorite animal!

Well-nourished bucks begin sprouting new racks each April.

If temperatures drop to single digits farenheit, whitetail deer often move during the midday hours.

The large ears of deer can rotate 180 degrees and pick up high-frequency sounds

Fun Facts Thank You!

A whitetail's hair appears bluish-grey in winter. New hair that grew in during autumn provides whitetails with added insulation. The tips on these new hairs are dark, giving the winter hide its richer hue.

The white tailed deer is native to the United States. They can be found in all states except California, Nevada, Utah, Alaska, and Hawaii.

Most live in forests but many can adapt to other habitats, including farmland, swamps, and deserts.

What do deer eat?

Deer eat mostly browse (leaves, twigs, shoots of

woody plants and vines) and forbs (weeds and other

broadleaf flowering plants).
