My Throwback Thursday post this week is a follow-up to last week’s post, a Red Deer stag with his harem.
This photo was taken later in the afternoon after I had spent time working my way closer to the herd.
This is a Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) hind (female) with her calf. A Red Deer fawn is known as a calf.
They were part of a stags harem but I was able to isolate them after working my way closer.
My Throwback Thursday post this week is a Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) stag with his harem photographed in October 1995. There’s a couple of young males partially hidden in the long grass in the background.
One of the largest species of deer, males are called a stag or hart while females are called a hind. During the mating season, known as the rut, large, dominant stags hold groups of hinds called harems.
Taken at Lyme Park, Disley, Cheshire, England, the deer park is part of the Peak District National Park.
My Flora and Fauna Friday subject this week is the American Red Squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus). Alternative common English names include Pine Squirrel, Chickaree and North American Red Squirrel.
This individual was photographed on the South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario, Canada in summer.
