Stock Photo: Fallow Deer Dama Dama Stags Rutting
ID 199774749 © Chrismoncrieff | Megapixl.com
The fallow deer is an elegant, medium-sized deer, with a typically spotted coat. Males have broad, palmate antlers. During the autumnal breeding season, known as the `rut`, males make a loud belly belch to proclaim their territory and fight over the females. This display may involve groaning and stylised walking, but often results in dangerous, physical contact as they lock antlers.
