Question 1: Which woodland giant features in today’s image?
- Red deer
- Elk
- Moose
Correct Answer: Red deer
Fact: Red deer, native to Europe, parts of Asia, and North Africa, are one of the largest deer species. Their reddish-brown coat changes to a grayish-brown in winter, and fawns are born with spots for camouflage. Preferring habitats like woodlands and mountainous areas, red deer are herbivores that graze on grasses, leaves, and shrubs.
Question 2: What is a male deer called?
- Hind
- Stag
- Doe
Correct Answer: Stag
Fact: Male deer, or stags, are distinguished by their impressive antlers, which they shed and regrow annually; the size and branching of these antlers depends on things like health and nutrition. Outside of the breeding season, stags often live in bachelor groups. They inhabit a range of environments, from forests to mountains.
