White Tail Deer:
The male deer, or buck, grows antlers each year. These Antlers are used as weapons during mating season and then are shed.
The female deer is called a doe. Doe can give birth to twins or even triplets per season, if well fed. A baby deer is called a fawn.
There is a large deer population in Pennsylvania. Deer were very important to the survival of settlers and Indian tribes. Deer were used as food and buckskin.Return to Pennsylvania Unit Study
