White-Tailed Deer

You might have heard a story about a white-tailed deer. It is an animal that lives in the forest and has a short tail. It has brown fur in the summer. In the winter, when there is snow, it has gray-white fur. That is why it is so hard to see a white-tailed deer. Many people try.

The male deer has antlers that drop off in the winter and grow again when winter is over. These new antlers soon grow hard and sharp.
