The European fallow deer is a medium-sized deer with spotted fur in summer and wide shovel-shaped antlers in adult males.
The European fallow deer differs from other deer in the shovel-shaped antlers and white spots on the fur in summer. It is important for nature because it eats plants, helps spread seeds, and serves as food for large predators.
