*** About Black-Tailed Deer:

*** Black-tailed deer, a subspecies of mule deer, are prevalent across the Pacific Northwest, specifically on Vancouver Island where they play a crucial role in the ecosystem. Adapting remarkably to both forested and open environments, their diet consists variably of shrubs, grasses, and herbs, changing seasonally to meet nutritional needs. In winter, their coats thicken for insulation, and they often migrate to lower elevations to escape the deepest snows. Fawns, like the one depicted, stay with their mothers for a full year, learning to navigate the challenging terrain and evade predators.
