Grass and low growing vegetation, as well as leaves on trees. This can be noticed on the trees in the area which have a perfectly flat bottom to their branches, about two metres from the ground, which is the maximum height the deer can reach Although there are six species of deer living in Britain, only the red deer and the roe deer are considered 'native'. The red deer is our largest native land animal. Mature stags have branching antlers which are shed each year (at the end of winter) and grow back larger the following year. The fur is browninsh in the summer and more grey in winter. The males grow a 'mane' of slightly thicker fur around the neck each autumn.
