Frankly, my deer

Some of you might've seen this on my Facebook. I've got a deer that's been hanging around my yard. She's a doe (a deer, a female deer ), and she has a bad leg. I'm thinking maybe she got ostracized from her herd because she couldn't keep up. She comes into the yard to eat - she likes apples, bread, corn and sunflower seeds - and spends the rest of her time laying on a pile of leaves at the edge of the woods.

She's so beautiful! I love her eyes.

AWWW

So pretty.....my folks have a doe and her fawn that visit quite often.....And when you go out in the yard, or drive up....they FREEZE.....and look just like statues......Rob, give her an apple for me....

Extremely cute!!

What species of deer is she?

It's a whitetail. Wiki says:


The white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), also known as the Virginia deer or simply as the whitetail, is a medium-sized deer native to the United States (all but five of the states), Canada , Mexico , Central America , and South America as far south as Peru . It has also been introduced to New Zealand and some countries in Europe, such as Finland , Czech Republic , and Serbia.

The ones we see around here are Fallow Deer.(They're mostly escapees from deer farms.)

I just Wiki'd them. Beautiful animals. And impressive antlers!

Beautiful deer.
