ID - White-tailed Deer
White-tailed deer are hoofed browsers more akin to domestic
goats in their dietary selection and physiology. They
forage in forest woodlands, glades, and openings, thriving
well in edge habitat. A major portion of their diet
is twigs and shrubs. Acorns are a staple in oak-dominated
habitats. Herbaceous plants are also eaten in summer
or late winter prior to “spring greening.” Deer
savor fruits such as persimmons.
