Today another picture from the Red deer or Elk.
also taken in my second holiday.
Thanks for the critique and for looking on my previous picture.
I hope you like this one.

Latin name -Cervus elaphus

Common names: cerf elaphe (French), Ciervo colorado (Spanish), deer, Edelhirsch (German), elk (English), European red deer (English), red deer (English), Rothirsch (German), Rotwild, Rothirsch (German), wapiti (Shawnee)
Organism type: mammal
Red deer (Cervus elaphus) were introduced to several countries, including North and South America, New Zealand and Australia. In Argentina they have invaded several National parks, influencing native flora and fauna and possibly disrupting ecological processes. Of particular concern is possible competition with an endangered deer endemic to the southern parts of Chile and Argentina. They also compete with livestock.
Description
Adult red deer (Cervus elaphus) are medium-sized and round-antlered, with a uniform, plain brown body, lighter below. Mature males have antlers with 10 or more tines, the uppermost pointing upwards in a cluster. The muzzle is blackish and hairless, and the hooves are grey to black. Both sexes are similar in colour. Adults typically have no spots, newborn fawns are brown or reddish-brown with a dark dorsal stripe and a creamy to light brown rump patch. White spots are scattered on the back and flanks (Nugent and Fraser 2005). Female live weights are 100-150kg, male live weights 200-300kg.
Occurs in:
natural forests, planted forests, range/grasslands, scrub/shrublands, tundra

Hallo Gert,
Goede foto genomen vanuit een goed laag standpunt. Mooie natuurlijke kleuren met een uitstekende diepte in de foto. Prima scherpte en compositie. Het is meer dan 30 jaar geleden dat ik ze in het wild van zo dichtbij heb gezien.
Groet,
Peter

Bello conjunto Gert y buena pose de estos grandes mamíferos que captaste en una pose acertada. Parece siempre en este tipo de animales que estén alerta por lejos que esté el fotógrafo.

Hi Gert,

This is a nice sharp image depicting two views of the red deer; side and three quarter views. They certainly have impressive racks! They look very healthy and hardy; obviously well adapted and adaptable to various environments.
