White-Tail Deer

   White-tailed deer are the smallest members of the North American deer family. They  are found in areas ranging from southern Canada to South America. They typically live in fields and meadows using broad-leaved and coniferous forests for shade and shelter. White-tailed deer are herbivores, so they eat  most plant foods.
  Their stomachs allow them to digest a varied diet, including leaves, twigs, fruits and nuts, grass, corn,
and other fungi. They dont usually look for food during the day. At dawn and dusk is when you are most likely to see them. White-tails are hunted by bobcats, mountain lions, coyotes, and humans. They are very quick when they need to be and can make sudden changes.
