White-tailed Deer Bookmark

Description

This deer ranges over most of the U.S.  When alarmed, the whitetail raises its tail communicating danger to other deer or helping a fawn to follow its mother.  Although they are primarily nocturnal, whitetaails may be active at any time, grazing on green plants or eating acorns, beechnuts and corn in the fall.  In the winter, they browse on woody vegetation.  Whitetails are graceful runners with top speeds of up to 35 mph.
