WHAT IS THE ADAPTATION AND HABITAT OF DEER

• When the deer is alarmed it raises its tail like a flag and dashes away. The flash of white fur warns the other deer.
• Deer have a keen sense of smell, good hearing and good eyesight.
• With its antlers and sharp hooves the male deer can sometimes kill a wolf. It will butt the wolf with its horns and then stamp on it with its feet.
• To prepare for the winter deer grow a thick coat and eat alot of food to store up body fat. If it is a very long and cold winter deer may gather in small groups for protection from the cold.
