A deer eating a grass..🦌🦌🦌

Although deer do consume grass, it is not their preferred or essential dietary source. Deer feed primarily on browsing and forbs (woody plants and vines' leaves, twigs, and shoots) (weeds and other broadleaf flowering plants). Even yet, they'll only eat young, green grass if it's especially tasty to them. Only nine percent of their diet consists of grasses, but these include rescue grasses, winter grasses, witchgrass, panic grasses and rushes, as well as wild and cultivated rhubarb, oats, and wheat. When forbs are available, white-tailed deer prefer them. When forbs aren't available, they switch to browsing as a source of nutrition.In fact, white-tailed deer could starve to death if fed only grass, as they are unable to digest mature grasses. Exotics (Axis deer, Sika deer, etc.) can switch to grass as forbs and browse are gone from the region (due to high grazing/browsing pressure), but white-tailed deer suffer from starvation. When grown, most ornamental grasses are called "deer-resistant."Show more
