The kings. A majestic sight: the red deer (Cervus elaphus). It belongs to the deer family and is a so-called antlered animal. This refers to the powerful antlers of the males, which they use to defend their territory during the mating season. The older a deer is, the more branches its antlers have. Depending on its age, the weight of an antler ranges between 6 and 25 kg.
Red deer can grow to be very different in size depending on their gender and habitat. Their height varies from deer 1,10 to 1,40 m, old animal 0,90 to 1,20 m
Length: Deer 1,80 - 2,10 m, old animal 1,60 - 1,80 m
Her menu includes grasses, herbs, shoots, buds and leaves, field and tree fruits.
Outside of their mating season, they are divorced by sex. Only during the rut do males flock to several female deer. The leaders of the pack, however, are the hinds.
The so-called setting time is from mid-May to early June. Usually the hinds only give birth to one calf.
The only natural predators of the red deer are large predators such as the lynx or the wolf. Deer can live to be 20 years old.
