Roe deerRoe deer are native to Britain and are the most widespread deer in the country. They are relatively small, only the size of a goat, hence their Latin name which means small goat! They have sandy red-brown fur in summer and rather grey-brown fur in winter. Females have a whitish patch on their rump, which is the shape of an inverted heart, whereas males have a kidney-shaped patch. They have a very small tail that looks just like a tuft of fur and have distinctive black noses and white chins. The males have short antlers, rarely longer than 25cm, with a maximum of three points each.
Predators & threats Occasionally foxes, eagles and wildcats. Roe are hunted for their meat. Where roe and muntjac compete, the muntjac is more likely to flourish than the roe.
Status & distribution Roe deer have lived in Britain since prehistoric times and are the most widespread of any deer in Britain but they are not present in Ireland. They are thought to be increasing in number.
