Animal Photos: Deer, Antelope and Buck Photos
A deer is a ruminant mammal belonging to the family Cervidae. A number of broadly similar animals from related families are often also called deer. Male deer grow and shed new antlers each year, as opposed to antelope, which are in the same order and bear a superficial resemblance to deer physically, but are permanently horned.
Depending on their species, male deer are called stags, harts, bucks or bulls, and females are called hinds, does or cows. Young deer are called fawns or calves. A group of deer is commonly called a herd.
