Interesting Details about Wild Species
Red deer are the largest and most powerful antlered animals of our Alps. Globally, there are about 12 subspecies of red deer. Among the deer species, the red deer is distinguished by its particularly large and extensively branched antlers. These antlers, prized as hunting trophies, are developed only by male animals. Originally, the red deer is a species of open and semi-open landscapes – see also Wikipedia.
Due to changes in living conditions (road and settlement construction, tourism, …) and the changed recreational behavior of humans, the habitats for red deer in our Alps have been significantly restricted.
In contrast to deer in the plains, which can weigh up to 200 kg, deer in our Alpine regions weigh around 150 kg.
- Red deer have a range of different sounds. The most well-known is the roaring of male deer during the rutting season, heard in the fall.
- Female deer live with their young in herds led by experienced elder females.
- Male deer form their own herds, with only the oldest males living as true loners.
- Due to disturbances, red deer have become crepuscular and nocturnal in activity and are widely distributed in undisturbed areas up to the forest line (in summer, even up to 2700m).
- Daily food intake depends on activity levels, ranging from 8 to 20 kilograms of fresh mass per 100 kilograms of body weight.
- The deer renews its antlers every year, shedding the old ones. The size of the antlers depends on age, diet, and the animal’s health.
- All senses in red deer are highly developed, particularly the sense of smell. A high proportion of the nasal mucosa is covered with olfactory epithelium (olfactory mucosa).
- The red deer has been driven into large forest areas by humans. These human-induced changes and the reduction of its habitat have caused wildlife damage. Today, this leads to conflicts between hunters, forest owners, and farmers.
