A few words about fallow deer

​

Fallow deer are animals belonging to the deer group. However, they are half the size of red deer - the weight of mature deer  bulls hesitates  from 70 - 140 kg, and the hind from 50 - 65 kg. There are 4 basic color varieties of fallow deer: brown, porcelain (fawn), white and black.  Fallow deer come from Asia Minor and came to Europe at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries.

The fully developed antlers of an adult male fallow deer are flattened and resemble initially a spoon (hence the name spoon) and later  a shovel (shovel) and is very easy to distinguish from deer antlers, which end with spikes. Young, one or two year old fallow deer bulls have unbranched antlers  and therefore they are also called spitzers. Fallow deer are subject to the annual cycle of shedding (late April / early May) and rebuilding (putting on) the antlers, which begins immediately after shedding and lasts from May to July. During this period, the antlers grow very intensively, which mainly depends on the nutritional conditions, lack of stress and the overall condition of the bull. It can grow up to 2 cm a day. In July or August, the construction of the antlers comes to an end. They are then covered with a velvety skin - a crust which soon begins to dry up and which is a bull within 1  up to 2 weeks wipes mainly against tree trunks. Now the bulls are ready  to the rut, which begins at the turn of October and November, and to the fights for the doe. The antlers put on in the following years of the bull's life are getting stronger and bigger. They can weigh up to several kilograms and are a valued trophy for collectors as well as a raw material for the cosmetics industry.

During the rut, the fallow deer stags eat almost nothing, which means they lose a lot of weight and, of course, they fight for dominance and the right to cover the hinds. They are dangerously aggressive in this period and therefore our park is closed to visitors at that time. Due to the shape of the antlers, the fights of fallow deer rarely end tragically for one of their participants. During this period  the bulls also dig holes in the ground in which they stay and into which they urinate, thus luring the doe.

Pregnancy in fallow deer lasts about 230 days (seven and a half months), after which period (from May to July), the doe usually gives birth to one young. Females become sexually mature at 16 months of age and males are mating usually at 4 years of age. Fallow deer live about 18 years ..
