Why do deer need such a big area for grazing?
Grazing by large herbivores is a major factor determining the structure and species composition of upland ecosystems. The manipulation of grazing regimes by land managers can thus be a powerful tool in the management of upland habitats. To predict the effects of unmanaged, or managed, grazing at a particular site, an understanding is needed of the foraging behaviour, diet selection and intake of the large herbivore species found in the Scottish uplands.
No, the deer is a member of the cervid (Cervidae)family (animals like deer and moose). Both bovids (things like cattle, sheep and goats, and antelope) and cervids belong to the Order Artiodactyla, which are hoofed animals with an even number of toes.

Why the spotted deer endangered?
The chital is listed as least concern by IUCN. No wide spread threats to chitals are there, and many live inside of protected areas. However, certain places face dramatic population decreases and even localized extinctions due to hunting and competition with domestic livestock.
Antelopes are a type of deer that have males and females. A female antelope is called a doe and the male is called a buck.
How many young does the red deer produce?
A doe can typically have one or two fawns per year. It's not rare for a doe to have triplets either.
Does a deer stay in same area?
Think of this question as one that requires common-sense. If you were "spooked" away from a place would you return? Deers think the same way. If they had an option it's not likely that they would go through the same path. Though, without realizing they may end up in the area they were "spooked" away from.
Most of the Northern states have deer (including Alaska) because deer do not like to live where it is very hot.

I have to disagree. I believe that all 50 states have deer- although they are different species of deer. Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi are ALL very hot states- with a good deer population.
Deer don't hibernate. In the winter they will however sleep longer hours and generally restrict excess movement, meaning they'll stay closer to 'home'. This way, they can preserve energy as food supplies are lower in winter and they're using energy to keep warm.
Deer species do not hibernate in any way. White-tailed deer 'yard up' which means they avoid deep snow by finding groves of evergreens such as hemlock trees that can hold up some of the snow, allowing them to walk better underneath. The deer don't eat very nutritiously during this lean peroid, but they do eat what browse is available, and add bark and othe lower nutrition foods to their diet. Mostly they rely on fat stores and move less. Often they lie in the sun on winter days on edges of woods to warm up, saving energy.
Why would a person want to go deer hunting?
There is no point. Hunting is wrong. Animals are people with fur they think and breath just like us. Some people find that hunting gives us things that we need.but we have grocery stores. If you are a hunter your point would be for food and valuables.But you shouldn't hunt deer for the valuables or for the stupid blood sport it is.
Hunting has no point it is so cruel that i am having a hard time writing to all you today.
