Transcript Meghan J. - White Tailed Deer

There are five different groups of animals
with vertebrates.
These classifications are:
Mammals
Fish
Reptiles
Birds
Amphibians
The White Tailed Deer has certain
characteristics that make it a mammal.
Here are some of its attributes:
They are warm blooded.
They have hair or fur.
They give birth to live young.
They breathe through lungs
The White Tailed Deer is 3 to 4 feet tall.
They are as tall as a adult’s neck. They
have a snowy white tail. Babies have
dots on their backs and are called
fawns. Only the males have antler. The
females are called doe.
Males are called bucks.
The white tailed deer can live mostly anywhere. They can live in the United States,
Southern Canada, Mexico, and North
America. They live near vegetable gardens
because they like to eat those plants.
Farmers don’t like deer very much because
they steal their crops. They live in forests,
farmlands, swamps and near lakes .
The white tailed deer are herbivores. That
means they are plant eaters. They are can’t
get that much food in the winter. They
almost starve when there is snow on the
ground. That means that they could die.
They eat green plants like grass, bushes,
leaves, buds, and stems. They also eat bark,
berries, twigs and acorns.
The White tailed deer’s enemies are men.
Men hunt them for their meat and their fur.
Some men hunt them for fun and hang deer
heads on the wall. Other enemies are
bobcats, jaguars , grizzly bears, and
alligators.
We should not kill our white tailed deer just
because they have fresh meat. They also
have nice fur. We shouldn‘t kill them
because the bucks have antlers . Maybe if
we stop killing them they will love us!!
