🦌 Deer Trivia: Mouse Deer Mouse deer (chevrotains) aren't true deer but belong to their own ancient family of hoofed mammals. The tiny Java mouse-deer stands just 30cm tall at the shoulder, making it the world's smallest living hoofed mammal. #DeerTrivia #DidYouKnow

#DeerPhotographyFriday 📸 This week's image, Shaking Sika by Sacha Welsh captures a sika deer shaking off water from its coat creating a striking burst of energy. It's a reminder that some of the most compelling wildlife photographs comes from unexpected moments.

The boys 🦌🦌 Sky and Scamp in The Creche yesterday morning, which is where we first saw them 5 months ago. Their coats are very similar now, but it's still possible to tell them apart (see replies below) 🦌🦌 #RoeDeerDiary #roedeer #trailcameras #Naturewatch #deerwatch

🦌 Deer Trivia: Dicrocerus Dicrocerus lived around 16 million years ago and is one of the earliest deer known to shed and regrow antler-like structures. Its simple forked antlers and enlarged canine tusks offer a fascinating glimpse into deer evolution. #DeerTrivia
