Best Answer

a coyote will eat a deer A wolf, mountain lion, fox, people
Wolves, bears, mountain lions
Well we do when we hunt and kill them. When they die on their own or from a battle, coyotes and other wild life will eat off of it it time.

in other words people and wild animals higher in the food chain

FIRST OFF: these are terrible answers. SECOND: wolves, bears, hunters, and other large mammals such as these. thanks[:

Wolves, lynxes, sometimes bears, moutain lions, coyotes.
Wolves, cougars, bears, coyotes, tigers, lions, crocs, etc. Really the predators that a deer faces depends on where it lives and what species it is.

Deer are widely believed to be herbivores and although the majority of their diet includes plants, fruits, acorns and grasses mounting evidence indicates that deer should really be considered Omnivores as they have been regularly observed eating small birds actually taking them from the nest .

Deer have also been observed raiding eggs from nests ,eating a variety of small rodents ,frogs and insects. They have even been known to eat dead fish they have found. Some deer have been observed eating carrion including large dead animals (even other deer) .It has even been reported that deer have consumed baby rabbits.

They are not the only supposed Herbivore to demonstrate a taste for meat. Although Pandas eat bamboo they will eat carrion including dead deer or sheep if they find them and even cows have been observed eating injured birds or fledglings fallen from the nest.

New technology such as video cameras have enable biologists and other observers to monitor and document the carnivorous behaviours of deer eating small animals and eggs. Previously the idea that deers were anything other than vegetarian have been the subject of myth. We now have the evidence that if the opportunity arises deer will eat meat .If you Google "Deer eating a bird" you will find footage on YouTube .

Although the deer's diet is primarily that of a Herbivore they should be considered are opportunistic Omnivores; meaning that if they can get animal protein they will even resorting on occasion to killing small animals.
