*** About White-tailed Deer: White-tailed deer, scientifically known as Odocoileus virginianus, are a widely recognized species found throughout North America. Known for the characteristic white underside to their tails, which they display prominently when alarmed or running, these deer are highly adaptable and can thrive in varied environments. Male deer, or bucks, are noted for growing distinctive antler sets each year, which they shed during the winter months. These creatures play a critical role in their ecosystems, influencing forest plant composition through grazing and serving as prey for larger predators like wolves and cougars.
