The Living Forest (480) : The King of the Forest

It’s early autumn.
In the forest the yearly mating ritual of the red deer, called the rut, has begun again.

Mature stags (males) compete for the attentions of the hinds (females) with a very distinctive and loud "roar" that can be heard for miles around in the forest.

Dutch name : Edelhert
German name : Rothirsch
