Fallow

The  fallow deer  is a ruminant species that is native to Europe. Adult bucks are 140–160 cm (55–63 in) long, 85–95 cm (33–37 in) in shoulder height, and typically 60–100 kg (130–220 lb) in weight; does are 130–150 cm (51–59 in) long, 75–85 cm (30–33 in) in shoulder height, and 30–50 kg (66–110 lb) in weight.

​

Much variation occurs in the coat color of the species, with four main variants: common, menil, melanistic, and leucistic (a genuine color variety, not albinitic).

 

Only bucks have antlers , which are broad and shovel-shaped (palmate) from three years. In the first two years, the antler is a single spike.
