*** About White-tailed Deer: The White-tailed Deer, known scientifically as Odocoileus virginianus, is a common species native to the Americas, particularly prevalent in the United States. These deer are highly adaptable and can thrive in a variety of habitats, though they prefer the edges of forests and open fields, which provide ample food and cover. The species is known for its characteristic white underside to the tail, which it displays as a signal to other deer during flight. White-tailed deer are important ecologically, helping to maintain the balance of forested and vegetated environments through their foraging habits, and culturally, they are a popular subject in art and folklore.
