How do deer keep warm in winter?

Answer 1

White-tailed deer actually have more hair per square inch in the summer than in the winter! For protection against the cold, each hair on a deer's winter coat is hollow - like a tiny straw, which holds insulating air next to the body. These hairs are therefore more substantial than the thinner summer hair. So a white-tailed deer's in winter is thicker because each hair is thicker, not because there are more hairs. But this collection of fat, hollow hairs certainly help them survive the cold of winter.

Answer 2

I lived in the country and on insane cold days / nights I'd see 'em pack together.

Touching side to side. And I assume when the outside ones got cold they would switch places with other deer.

Answer 3

Not really, if you think about! I mean, look at them. They are very slender so the fur can't be too thick. I'm not a deer expert but from what I think, I don't think they have that thick of fur.

Answer 4

Deer have hair and not fur.
