ID 254399436 © Mccrainemercantile | Megapixl.com
Named for the white underside of its tail, which is visible when it holds its tail erect while running. Only the males grow antlers, and they shed them each winter. They can smell human odor on underbrush and will purposely stay away from areas visited by humans for weeks afterwards. They can jump vertically more than 8.2 ft and horizontally 29 ft, which is almost the length of a school bus. Their eyes have more rods than cones, which is why they can see better at night. They have their own built-in night vision googles. Deer are getting infected and die by Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease EHD a deadly infection transmitted by biting midges.
