About the White-Tailed Deer

The white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) is also known as the Virginia deer. This species lives in North and South America. Because it is very adaptable, it lives in many places. For example, it lives in dry plains and the Amazon. It also lives high in the Andes mountains.

Currently, it is the most common herbivore in the Americas. Furthermore, its main predator is the mountain lion (Puma concolor). Together, they are two of the most common mammals in the world.
