Animal Description

About the Red Deer (Cervus elaphus)

The red deer is one of the largest deer species in the world, native to the tall forests and highlands of the northern United Kingdom, more specifically Scotland. Their namesake comes from their thick, somewhat shaggy reddish-brown coat, though the male red deer is more commonly known for its incredible antlers, oftentimes reaching up to a meter in width. The red deer males and females tend to stay in separate groups for most of the year until the mating season arrives in the fall. During this time, the males will engage in a “roaring” contest and often lock antlers in a show of strength to decide who gets the girl.
