Best Answer

The main food of red deer is grass and sedges on the mountains. They also eat leaves of trees and shrubs such as holly, heather, and bilberry. In hard winters, deer may strip the bark off trees for food, and may also take crops.

Wolves [Canis lupus], humans, and domestic dogs [Canis lupus familiaris] are the most consistent predators of the red deer [Cervus elaphus]. There may be threats from the occasional brown bear [Ursus arctos], Eurasian lynx [Lynx lynx], or wild boar [Sus scrofa]. But the red deer generally may be seen as a Survivor. The accuracy of this statement is backed up by its outliving three ferocious predators of the past: the now extinct Asia Minor leopard [Panthera pardus]; and the Barbary leopard [Panthera pardus panthera] and lion [Panthera Leo Leo].
