Deer range in size from the small mouse deer all the way up to the moose/Eurasian elk. Many may live 14 or more years in captivity but life expectancy in the wild may not be well established. Does/cows of many deer species live longer than males, not only due to hunting but because bucks/bulls competing for breeding rights age much faster.
