Red Deer

Red Deer

Red Deer are old world deer.  They live in Europe and North Africa.  They are an important food animal for some parts of the Old World.  They are a rather large deer.  They can weigh up to 530 lbs or a mass of 240 kg.  Conservation efforts have helped them avoid extinction in Europe and England.  They have declining population numbers in North Africa.  

If you read the story of Robin Hood killing the King's Deer. . . it would have been Red Deer.  You can see a red deer hiding in the bushes and trees in the below drawing.   This is an older drawing.
