How long is a deer?
Asked by Wiki User
Deer Antler growth usually begins during the month of March or April, by August or early September, antlers are fully-grown. In most cases the typical deer antlers begins growth out of the head in a backward motion, then quickly changes direction and sweeps forward.
Deer antlers are among the fastest growing tissues known to man.
Growing as much as a ½ inch per day during peak development. The development process can vary greatly depending upon the genes and nutrition of each deer. Growing antlers are covered with a living tissue called velvet. During development, the deer's antlers are very delicate and extremely sensitive to the touch. This is also the time when most antler damage or breakage occurs.
Velvet is shed or rubbed off by the buck as he rubs saplings with his antlers. Older bucks will shed their velvet before younger bucks. A buck's first set of antlers begins to grow when it's about 10 months old. Spikes are more common in yearling deer than older ones because antler growth starts at a time when the young buck's body is still growing rapidly. Antler development is tied in closely with the animal's nutritional status. Older bucks might also carry spikes if they come from an area with poor food conditions.

Does a deer have a gallbladder?
Asked by Wiki User
A gall bladder is designed to break up fat into smal globules for further digestion. Since horses generally do not consume much fat in nature there is no need for a gall bladder. Whether the gall bladder was present at some point in the development of most herbivores is unknown.
Is the mule deer endangered?
Asked by Wiki User
The Mule deer population in the west has been declining for the pst few decades,and is declining because of:
Predators:
There have been a LOT of preadators preying on deer, and the Forest Service is trying to manage the predators more sufficiently.
Habitat Loss:
The whole stop-burning-the-forests thing has been really hurting the Mule deers' habitat, and has allowed dead trees to over-crowd forests. Then, when a fire does burn down forests full of dead trees, and fire fuel, the fires is more devistating, and burns hotter, causing lots of damage to the deer and their food source.
These are only a few things contributing to the curent deer decline. If you want to learn more, go to the related link.

First: the caveat. With the possible exception of spiny Barberries (Berberis) there are no absolutely deer-proof plants. If the herd is large enough, and food is scarce enough, deer have been known to eat almost anything. That said, there are plants that are much less palatable to deer.
