The beautiful Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) is a slender, medium-sized deer commonly native to the United Kingdom. Their range extends to parts of northern Europe and Asia to the high mountains of Central Asia, and from the south of Spain with varied habitats from woodland, forest, grassland and heathland environments.
Roe Deer have short antlers and no tail. The Roe Deer is predominantly white with a pale buff patch around the rear. Their hair turns reddish in the summer and gray in the winter. Like other deer, a “buck” is what a male Roe Deer is called, and the female is a “doe”.
Roe Deer have standing shoulder heights between 2’2”-2’9” (65-85 cm), head-to-body lengths in the range of 3’1”-4’9” (95-145 cm), and overall weights of 33-132 lb (15-60 kg). The lifespan of a wild Roe Deer is roughly 7-10 years.
