White-tailed Deer

Odocoileus virginianus

Description:

White-tailed deer vary in size across their range with the smallest subspecies living in southern Florida and ranging to animals that on the average are twice that size in the northern part of their range. They are reddish brown in the summer and tend toward gray/brown in the winter. Males are larger than females and have antlers that are shed and regrown annually.

Habitat:

Forested areas of North America, but ranging as far south as northern South America.

Notes:

This photo was taken a number of years ago on transparency film and I'm not confident about the date, but I'm close.
