About
The fallow deer (Dama dama) is a deer native mainly to Turkey that has adapted to a wide range of environments such as grasslands, forests, and woodlands. It shows diversity in coat color and markings, and only males have palmate antlers. It feeds by ruminating grasses, leaves, twigs, and bark, and known predators include wolves. Breeding takes place from autumn into winter, births mostly occur in summer, and fawns begin ruminating within a few weeks. Its range is broad, and the IUCN assesses it as Least Concern.
