***About White-tailed Deer: The White-tailed Deer, scientifically known as Odocoileus virginianus, is a highly adaptable species found throughout North America from southern Canada to South America. Known for its characteristic white underside to its tail, which it displays as a warning signal, the deer is a key species in its habitat. It plays a critical role in ecosystem dynamics, influencing forest regeneration and the population control of other species. While commonly found in wooded areas, White-tailed Deer have shown remarkable adaptability to suburban environments where they can often be seen grazing in yards and along roadsides, reflecting their ability to coexist in varied environments.
