*** About White-tailed Deer: Native to the Americas, the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) is known for its distinctive tail which it raises like a flag when alarmed. Thriving in varied habitats, these deer are remarkably adaptable, able to live in wooded areas as well as suburban environments where their graceful presence is both enchanting and, at times, challenging for conservation efforts. In art and culture, they are often symbols of gentility and wildness, embodying the paradoxical relationship between human domains and the wilderness.
