I believe you are familiar with the joking term "silly roe deer", but do you know what kind of animal a roe deer is? Are they really that few? Let’s talk about Silly Roe Deer.
The roe deer, also called roe deer and cypress heron, is obviously a species in the family Deeridae. Some people jokingly call it the four mythical beasts of the Northeast together with the calf, the calf, the cat, and the donkey. . It is not big, with a body length of about 1.3 meters and a weight of about 30 kilograms. It is a medium-sized deer. It has a silly face, its nose and mouth are shorter than ordinary ones, its two big, high-erected ears always seem to be listening to something, and its round eyes reveal a sense of curiosity. When he stares at you, it's like an animal version of a dazed expression, so cute and cute.
The roe deer’s feet are very special. Only male roe deer can grow them, and they will fall off and grow again every year. Because its horns are not used to defend against natural enemies, but to compete for prey, their feet will fall off after the annual breeding season, probably in late autumn and early winter, and then they will immediately start to grow new ones. It will grow well around the end of March to April. Then it begins to ossify and shed its downy skin in preparation for the subsequent breeding period. In fact, in the animal kingdom, there are many cases of preparing weapons in order to find a partner. Like Australia's walking living fossil platypus, they all have spikes on their ankles. However, only the male platypus's spikes can secrete venom during reproduction to compete with the same sex.
Let’s talk about it, the color of the roe deer’s fur will change according to the seasons. In winter, it is uniform gray-white or light brown, and in summer, it is brown or dark brown. These two sets of costumes allow them to better disguise themselves in different seasons, and what’s more interesting is their funny white butts. Technically speaking, it is called a buttocks. When frightened, the buttocks of the robe will explode and become particularly obvious. Moreover, the shapes of the male and female are different. The male's buttocks are square-shaped, while the female's hips are heart-shaped. If you see a deer with a white back in the Northeast, it must be a roe deer.
