About the White-tailed DeerFull Range Map & Species Guide →

Reddish-brown in summer and grayer in winter, this graceful deer raises a broad tail white underneath like a flag when alarmed. Antlers carry tines rising from one main beam. It is widespread across North America, living in forests, farmland, swamps and suburbs, and browsing on shrubs, acorns and crops; look for it at the edges of fields and woodland at dawn and dusk, and watch for the white flash as it bounds away.
