Odocoileus virginianus
White-tailed deer are herbivores, leisurely grazing on most available plant foods. Their stomachs allow them to digest a varied diet, including leaves, twigs, fruits and nuts, grass, corn, alfalfa, and even lichens and other fungi.
White-tailed deer, the smallest members of the North American deer family, are found from southern Canada to South America.
This 5-year-old doe was relaxing and chewing her cud in my yard. She is pregnant with her 5th (and possibly 6th) offspring.
