White-tailed Deer
They are the most nervous and shy out of all kinds of deer.
They are good runners, able to reach speeds up to 30 mph. When they run, they hold their tail upward, as pictured.
They are very good swimmers and often use the water to escape from predators.
They use scent glands, which can be found on the feet and hind legs, to communicate with each other - especially during mating season.
They are herbivores and eat a wide range of foods heavily depending on what vegetation is available in their habitat. Generally they eat grasses, leaves, shoots, legumes, acorns, and fruit. Their stomach is even adapted to eat poison ivy!
