[edit] Fawn picture

Can anyone confirm whether this fawn is a Roe Deer. This website describes the fawn as having two distinct lines of white spots running from the nape of the neck either side of the dorsal to the rump, which would seem to fit. However, I'm not sure whether this is sufficient to identify a Roe Deer fawn. The fawns of Fallow Deer would seem similiar, but also have a black stripe down the centre of the back. -- Solipsist 13:56, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

No it isn't a Roe Deer; as the pic is from Canada, it is probably a White-tailed Deer or a Mule Deer - MPF 20:30, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Roe Deer terrioty

How many hectares does one deer need?--Rhydd Meddwl 15:30, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Very variable, depending on climate, forage quality, presence or not of other competing herbivores, etc, etc. This page quotes 0.5 to 0.7 deer per hectare [500-700 per 1000 ha] for 'suitable woodland habitat' in Britain, while this gives 20 to 30 per 1000 hectares (habitat unspecified) in Estonia. - MPF 16:12, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Version 0.5 nomination failed

This article is considered to fall outside the scope of the Version 0.5 test release, since this version only includes a limited number of articles. It is now held ready for a later version such as Version 1.0 nomination. Thanks Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 03:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

The article is well-written, but it's a little more than a stub, and the trivia section moved me away, try to import info from the FAs version. Thanks Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 03:49, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
