This medium sized deer although native to North America, has its habitat extending as far south as Peru and Bolivia in South America. It is also known as the Whitetail, or Virginia deer Odocoileus virginianus. The deer`s coat is reddish-brown in spring and summer and turns to a grey and dark brown through the fall and winter. The deer can be recognized by the characteristic white underside to its tail, which it raises in alarm and while fleeing. Picture was taken in a clearing in the woods of New Jersey, USA. Although a couple of them were alert to my presence and kept raising their heads nervously and following my movements, the rest of them seemed to ignore my presence, continuing to graze without interruption.
