Adaptable to various environments, these deer are mostly found in the forests and fields of the United States and Canada. Male deer, known as bucks, are recognizable by their distinctive antler racks, which regrow annually and are used in mating rituals to attract females or does. Fawns, like the one depicted in the artwork, usually bear distinctive white spots on their coats that help camouflage them in natural habitats. These spots generally fade as the fawns grow older and become more adept at evasion from predators. The White-tailed deer plays a crucial role in its ecosystem, influencing forest regeneration and prey dynamics.
