We saw many Black-tailed deer which is sometimes classified as mule deer. They are gorgeous and when I saw this one I was concerned about his health so I waited until there were no cars coming and I walked him across the street—literally.
:::
This species thrives on the edge of the forest, as the dark forest lacks the underbrush and grasslands that the deer prefers as food, and completely open areas lack the hiding spots and the cover it prefers for harsh weather. One of the plants that Black tailed deer browse is Western poison oak, in spite of this plant's content of toxins. This deer often is most active at dawn and dusk, and is frequently involved in collisions with automobiles. [wikipedia] |
