*** About White-tailed Deer: White-tailed deer, scientifically known as Odocoileus virginianus, are widely distributed across North and Central America. Known for their distinctive white under tail, they inhabit various ecosystems, ranging from forests to prairies and swamps. Highly adaptable, these deer often navigate the edges of urban areas, where they can both benefit and suffer from human presence. While they are integral to ecosystem balance, promoting healthy forests and grasslands, their increasing proximity to urban environments often leads to conflicts, including vehicle collisions and garden foraging. Efforts to manage deer populations and preserve their habitats are crucial in maintaining the delicate balance between wildlife and urban development.
