Step into the world of our fallow deer and unlock the wonders of these extraordinary creatures
Prized for many years as an ornamental species, the fallow deer has a range of coat colours, from red, black, and brown to pure white. Adults have the same appearance as fawns, with white spots covering their dark chestnut coats.
These animals communicate with body language, vocalisations, and smells. Vocalisations are of six different types: barking, bleating, peeping, wailing, groaning, and rutting.
Fallow deer are a social species, roaming in herds, which are usually divided into two - females with fawns together, and males in another group. Males and females only come together during the breeding season.
