The Fallow Deer (Dama dama) is considered a medium-sized deer with white spots covering a light brown coat. They are one of the few deer species that do not lose their spots in the months directly following their birth. The antlers of the Fallow Deer are very wide and less branched than other species.
Male Fallow Deer’s only get antlers and their development occurs over a span of up to 3 years to fully develop. Thanks to their strong legs, they are extremely fast animals that like to run in open grasslands, away from wooded areas that they only visit for resting and sheltering themselves from prey. Fallow Deer spend hours every day looking for the freshest grass to feast on.
Fallow Deer have standing shoulder heights between 2’6”-3’1” (76-94 cm), head-to-body lengths in the range of 4’3”-5’3” (130-160 cm), and overall weights of 65-220 lb (29-100 kg). The lifespan of a wild Fallow Deer is roughly 8-15 years.
