The Living Forest (768) : Red Deer
In september and october, red deer start looking for a mate. For males, this is always accompanied by a lot of noise.
Testosterone courses through their bodies, their swollen throats and large antlers give them an imposing appearance.
By roaring, they impress each other and the females. This can be heard for miles around in the forest.
Sometimes they use their impressive antlers to pick fights with rivals.
Dutch name : Edelhert
German name : Rothirsch

Durch die Kopfhaltung erscheint das Geweih in einer besonderen Perspektive, weit ausladend und dicht gepackt.lg Willi
