BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT DEER

 * There are many different species of deer found around the world. All are
   hoofed ruminant mammals that collectively form the family Cervidae. In this
   family there are two primary groups: Cervinae (which includes North American
   Elk (Wapiti), Red Deer, and Fallow Deer), and Capreolinae (which includes
   species such as White-Tailed Deer, Roe Deer, Moose, and Reindeer).
 * Deer live and thrive in a variety of microclimates around the globe. Some
   species are right at home on the frozen Tundra, while others easily navigate
   the dense brush of tropical rainforests. While we typically associate forests
   with deer, most species prefer the areas of transition between thick forests
   and open grasslands. This is why there’s some evidence that logging actually
   benefits deer in some parts of the world, though they always require adequate
   forest and brush cover for populations to thrive.
 * Deer come in all shapes and sizes – ranging from the imposing Moose of North
   America (which can stand 8.5 feet tall and is the largest species of deer),
   to the tiny Northern Pudu of the Andes mountain range (which typically
   measures just 13-14 inches in height and is the smallest species of deer in
   the world).
