The roe deer is a small to medium-sized deer native to Europe and parts of Asia. It typically stands about 75 to 100 centimeters tall at the shoulder and weighs between 20 to 30 kilograms. Roe deer have a reddish-brown coat in summer, which turns grayish-brown in winter. They are known for their distinctive white rump patch and short antlers, which are shed annually. Roe deer are primarily herbivores, feeding on grasses, leaves, and shoots. They are most active during dawn and dusk, making them crepuscular animals. These deer are solitary or found in small groups, and they are known for their agility and speed, which help them evade predators.
