Some Differences



Most people, but maybe not all, know that red deer and reindeer are not the same. You can still see drawings of reindeer that look more like a red deer stag. There are several species of reindeer and in most both the male and female grow antlers. Those of the male (bull) can become huge. The reason sometimes given for both having antlers is that they use them not just as weapons but also to clear away the snow to find food.

Our red deer would be better off this year with buckets and mops.
