Red Deer
The Red Deer, known for its striking antlers and majestic posture, thrives in zoo environments that mimic open grasslands and forested areas. These herbivores are fed a diet of grasses, leaves, and bark. During the mating season, visitors may hear their impressive vocalizations, which are used to attract mates and assert dominance. Zoos also highlight their ecological importance in maintaining forest health and share conservation efforts to protect them from overhunting and habitat destruction.
