Fauna of Saskatchewan 4

White-tailed deer
Odocoileus virginianus

Location: northeast of Craven




Interesting facts:

-White-tailed deer can leap as high as 10 feet and as far as 30 feet in a single bound.
- Deer are territorial and will starve themselves rather than leave their territory to search for food.
- These deer are very good swimmers.
- In optimal conditions deer populations can double annually.

Where's this shot taken? Also, I can't click on the pictures in your previous post, and I would really like to oogle the full sized images.

This picture was taken near Craven in January. I can't click on the pics in Country Roads either! I blame blogger.
