This smaller, more common deer species from North America gets its name from its tail, which is always white on its underside.
White-tailed deers have excellent vision and hearing, but their primary strength is their sense of smell and speed.
They are so agile that they can run at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour (48 km/h).
Their gray-brown fur serves as camouflage against predators.
Their fine hair allows them to maintain their body heat quite effectively.
The white-tailed deer is the symbol of nine U.
S.
states and two Canadian provinces.
White-tailed deer graze in the mornings and evenings.
Deer, like cows, are ruminants, meaning they have four stomachs and regurgitate partially digested food.
This complex process allows deer to eat, for example, twigs, which most animals cannot digest.
