Interesting Details About Deer
Red deer are the largest and most majestic antlered animals of our Alps. There are about 12 subspecies of red deer worldwide. Red deer belong to the genus of true deer. Among the deer species, the red deer stands out for its especially large and intricately branched antlers. These antlers, coveted as hunting trophies, are developed only by male animals. Originally, red deer were animals of open and semi-open landscapes – see also Wikipedia.
Due to changed living conditions (road and settlement construction, tourism,…) and the altered recreational behavior of people, the habitat for red deer in our Alps has become significantly restricted.
Unlike plains deer weighing 200 kg, those in the Alpine region weigh around 150 kg.
- Red deer have a range of different vocalizations. The most well-known is the roaring of males during rutting season in the fall.
- Females live in herds with their young, led by experienced older animals.
- Male deer form their own herds, with the oldest deer often living as pronounced loners.
- Red deer have become crepuscular and nocturnal due to disturbances, and are found in undisturbed areas up to the tree line (in summer, even up to 2700m).
- The daily food requirement varies with activity levels, ranging between 8 and 20 kilograms of fresh mass per 100 kilograms of body weight.
- Deer renew their antlers every year, shedding the old ones. The size of the antlers depends on the animal’s age, diet, and health.
- All senses of the red deer are well-developed, especially the sense of smell. A significant portion of the nasal lining is covered with olfactory epithelium (olfactory mucosa).
- The red deer has been pushed into large forest areas by humans. These changes and the reduction of its habitat are partially responsible for wildlife damage. Today, this leads to conflicts between hunters, forest owners, and farmers.
