What is a "fallow deer"?
Fallow deer are a graceful and elegant species of deer that typically have a slender build and a medium-sized body. They are known for their distinctively shaped antlers, which are palmate with a series of tines resembling a hand or a shovel. The coat of fallow deer is usually spotted, with a variety of colorations ranging from brown to white, and may change seasonally. Fallow deer are herbivores and typically inhabit woodlands, forests, and open fields. They are known for their agile and swift movements, and their distinctive bounding gait known as "stotting" or "pronking" when alarmed.
