An emblem of North American forests, the white-tailed deer is distinguished by its characteristic white tail. When fleeing, it raises it high to warn its fellow deer of danger. Its coat changes with the seasons: reddish brown in summer, it becomes more grayish in winter to better blend into its environment.
A herbivore, it feeds on leaves, young shoots, acorns, and fruit, playing an important role in the balance of forest ecosystems. Surprisingly, the white-tailed deer is an agile runner, capable of reaching speeds of 60 km/h and leaping over 3 meters high. Males sport large, branched antlers, which fall off each winter before growing back in the spring, symbols of strength and renewal.
This Papo figurine realistically recreates the white-tailed deer: detailed antlers, finely sculpted fur, and alert posture. An ideal model to enrich a wildlife collection, invent nature stories, or educate children about the richness of North American wildlife.
