*** About White-tailed Deer: White-tailed Deer, known scientifically as Odocoileus virginianus, are widely prevalent across North America. They play pivotal roles in their ecosystems, influencing plant communities and serving as prey for large predators. Adult White-tailed Deer can be recognized by their distinctive white belly and tail, which they flash as a warning signal to other deer. They are highly adaptable, living in various habitats ranging from wooded areas to suburban environments. The White-tailed Deer's diet changes seasonally, feeding on a wide array of vegetation, which includes grasses, fruits, and nuts. Conservation efforts are crucial for maintaining stable populations of these deer, balancing natural ecosystems and human interactions.
