Fallow Deer

The Fallow Deer is native to Europe and has been introduced to many parts of the world.

Male Fallow Deer grow large, flattened antlers that can be palm-shaped.

They have a distinctive spotted coat, though some individuals can be solid white or black.

Fallow Deer are known for their "pronking" behavior, where they leap into the air with all four legs stiff and their backs arched, often when alarmed.

They are social animals and live in herds.

The rut, or breeding season, is a noisy affair, with males making loud grunting calls.

Fallow Deer are primarily grazers, feeding on grasses, but will also eat leaves, shoots, and acorns.
