Fallow deer are medium-sized deer native to Europe and parts of Asia. They are easily recognized by their distinctive spotted coat, which can vary in color from reddish-brown to white. Fallow deer have a unique palmate antler shape, which resembles a flattened hand, and males typically grow these antlers during the breeding season. These deer are social animals, often found in herds. They prefer woodlands, grasslands, and park-like environments. Fallow deer are herbivores, primarily feeding on grasses, leaves, and fruits. Their adaptability has allowed them to thrive in various habitats, including areas where they have been introduced, such as in parts of North America.
