I took this picture while walking through a wildlife reservation. While this young roe went away from me, it suddenly turned around when I was fiddling with my camera as if to find out what I'm doing.
The Roe Deer attains a maximum life span (in the wild) of ten years. When alarmed, it will bark a sound much like a dog and flash out its white rump patch. Rump patches differ between the sexes, with the white rump patches heart-shaped on females and kidney-shaped on males. Males may also bark, make a low grunting noise or make a high pitched wolf-like whine when attracting mates during the breeding season, often luring multiple does into their territory. The Roe Deer spends most of its life alone, preferring to live solitary except when mating during the breeding season.(excerpt taken from wikipedia)
Hope you like the picture, Heike |
