The deer

The deer
(Cervus elaphus) is a large deer of the temperate forests of Europe, North Africa and western and central Asia. Its name is a pleonasm, because "elaphe" already means "deer" in Greek.

This deer is one of the best known representatives of this family of mammals. The species includes several subspecies, including the “Bactrian deer”, the “Turkestan deer”, the “Turkestan red deer” and the “Turkestan red deer”1.

The female is the "doe", the young is the fawn. Then, from 6 months to 1 year, it is called "here" if it is a male, the female retains the name "fawn" for up to a year. From 1 to 2 years old, the young male is called "daguet" with two large dry antlers and the female "bichette". Hinds do not carry antlers.
