Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Why do roe deer stay close to young trees and bushes?
Young trees provide fresh leaves, buds, and bark for roe deer to eat. The low foliage also offers quick camouflage when predators approach.
How do roe deer change coat color between seasons?
Roe deer shed their fur twice a year, growing a short reddish coat for summer heat and a thicker gray coat to trap warmth during cold winter months.
Are male and female roe deer different in appearance?
Male roe deer grow short antlers with two or three points that shed annually. Females do not grow antlers at all.
