Red Deer - Physical Description
Red Deer are the largest mammals in Britain. They have a reddish-brown coat. It changes to the grayish hue in winter. The red deer has a patch of a creamy color on the rump and a short tail. The males carry antlers. Red deer range in color from dark brown in the wintertime to tan in summer.
The head, neck, belly and legs of the mammal are darker than the back and sides of the body. Males have a dark mane hanging from the neck to the chest. The Red deer's legs are slender, and the body is rather sturdy. Males tend to be larger and heavier than
females.

Red Deer - Geographic Range
The Red deer species was once found throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Red deer are widespread, however, they are distributed patchily in the Palaearctic region, on the territory from Ireland to China and from south of the Arctic Circle in Norway to North Africa.
In Great Britain, the Red deer is present in Scotland and the Scottish Islands, the Lake District, Thetford Forest, and New Forest. Red deer inhabit grassland, forest, mountains and moorland.
Mostly they are forest dwellers, but Red deer are highly adaptive. The availability of food for Red
deer basically determines the choice of place for their habitat.
