*** About White-tailed Deer: The White-tailed Deer, scientifically known as Odocoileus virginianus, is a prevalent species across North America. This deer is known for its distinctive tail, which it raises like a flag when alarmed, revealing a white underside as a warning signal to other deer. With a diet consisting mainly of grass, leaves, and twigs, White-tailed Deer play a significant role in their ecosystem by influencing forest composition and regeneration. They are also a key prey species for larger predators such as wolves and cougars. The adaptability of these deer to various habitats has made them a common sight not only in remote forests but also in suburban areas, where they are often spotted grazing at dawn and dusk.
