Deercember Day Twenty-Two: Northern Woodland White-tailed Deer | Fireflies
The white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), also known commonly as the whitetail, is a medium-sized species native to North America, Central America, and South America as far south as Perú and Bolivia. The species is so named because the underside of its tail is covered with white hair, and when it runs it often holds its tail erect so that the white undersurface is visible; this behaviour, used to indicate danger, is often referred to as "flagging". In North America, the species is widely distributed east of the Rocky Mountains as well as in the southwest throughout Arizona and most of Mexico, though not within southern California. Across its distribution, the species has evolved into numerous subspecies; there are currently anywhere between twenty-six to thirty-eight subspecies, depending on the manner of classification. The largest and darkest, the northern woodland white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus borealis), is native throughout the northeastern United States and into Canada. Their phenotype follows the general rule that the further from the equator a population resides, the larger they tend to be; likewise, populations who live in a high-humidity environment, or who spend most of their time in conifer forests, tend to be darker in colouration. Spending the majority of the day concealed in the forest, these deer are crepuscular animals—most active around sunrise and sunset—with frequent nocturnal activity who, under the cover of night, venture out into more open areas to graze.
