White-Tailed Deer

Odocoileus virginianus

Don’t confuse it with Bambi…

Fawns are born with a reddish brown coat that is spotted in white.

This allows it to camouflage in the first weeks of life, during which the doe leaves to feed.

It runs up to 60 km/h. It makes leaps 9 meters in length and 2.5 meters in height.
