The Persian fallow deer is the larger of the two living species, with an average body mass of around 70–140 kilograms (150–310 lb), [4] and a shoulder height of around 80–110 centimetres (31–43 in) [5] with the European fallow deer having an average body mass of around 35–80 kilograms (77–176 lb).

Dama clactoniana is an extinct species of fallow deer (genus Dama).It lived during the Middle Pleistocene (with fossils spanning around 500-300,000 years ago). It is widely agreed to be the Dama species most closely related and likely ancestral to the two living species of fallow deer (being sometimes treated as a subspecies of Dama dama as Dama dama clactoniana) and like them has palmate antlers.
European fallow deer were introduced to Tasmania in 1830 and to mainland Australia in the 1880s. The deer can now be found in all Australian jurisdictions, except Western Australia and the Northern Territory. The European fallow deer is the most widespread and numerous of introduced deer species in Australia. [33]
Six species of deer are living wild in Great Britain: [1] Scottish red deer, roe deer, fallow deer, sika deer, Reeves's muntjac, and Chinese water deer. [2] Of those, Scottish red and roe deer are native and have lived in the isles throughout the Holocene.
A deer (pl.: deer) or true deer is a hoofed ruminant ungulate of the family Cervidae (informally the deer family).Cervidae is divided into subfamilies Cervinae (which includes, among others, muntjac, elk (wapiti), red deer, and fallow deer) and Capreolinae (which includes, among others reindeer (caribou), white-tailed deer, roe deer, and moose).
Experts estimate that less than 2% of the whitetail deer population suffers from Piebald. Either way, seeing an Albino or Piebald deer will give you a campfire story for years to come. Watch the Video
A member of this family is called a deer or a cervid. They are widespread throughout North and South America, Europe, and Asia, and are found in a wide variety of biomes . Cervids range in size from the 60 cm (24 in) long and 32 cm (13 in) tall pudú to the 3.4 m (11.2 ft) long and 3.4 m (11.2 ft) tall moose .
Fallow deer are thought to be their closest living relatives. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Megaloceros has been suggested to be closely related to other genera of "giant deer", like the East Asian genus Sinomegaceros , and the European Praemegaceros .
