They are recognized for their distinctive tail, which is white on the underside and prominently displayed as a signal of alarm. These deer are browsers, feeding on a mixture of leaves, twigs, fruits, and flowers. As urban areas expand into their natural habitats, white-tailed deer have shown remarkable adaptability, occasionally being spotted in suburban and even urban settings where green spaces persist.
