*** About White-tailed Deer: The White-tailed Deer, scientifically known as Odocoileus virginianus, is a prominent species in Texas and across the Americas. Characterized by the distinctive white underside of its tail, which it raises as a warning signal, this deer is adaptable to a variety of habitats. They are primarily browsers, feeding on a diverse diet that includes leaves, twigs, fruits, and fungi. During the mating season, known as the rut, males display their antlers in dramatic shows of dominance to attract mates. The species plays a significant role in local ecosystems, impacting plant communities and providing prey for predators. Conservation efforts continue to manage and protect their populations, ensuring the White-tailed Deer remains a symbol of wildlife resilience and beauty.
