Whitetail Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are native to the Nearctic and Neotropical regions. This species can be found in most parts of Canada and all the mainland of the USA to Bolivia except of the west central states to the California coast. Whitetail Deer inhabit a great variety of habitats from the northern forests to the swamps and the deserts of southern regions. They prefer forest edges and brush lands that provide good shelter and enough food. This kind of habitat is often created by humans, so Whitetail Deer don't suffer much from loss of habitat.

Whitetail Deer - Description

Whitetail Deer weigh from 57 to 140 kg and vary in length from 160 to 220 cm. Males are larger than the females. Their coat color varies from gray in winter to reddish-brown in summer. This species got its name due to the white tail that is posterior and is seen when the deer bounds away. Also these deer have white patches on their face and lower legs.

The bucks begin growing antlers in the spring and in August and September. The antlers become rather big allowing the males to participate in mating. In January, the antlers are shed off. With each year of age the Whitetail Deer grow larger antlers with more points that increases their chances to get more females.
