Figure 3-2.1: White-tailed deer很常出現在路邊吃草。

Figure 3-2.2: 這是white-tailed deer的招牌動作,逃跑時尾巴有如豎白旗般舉起。

Figure 3-2.3: 通常white-tailed deer比較少只出現一隻,大都是一群或是幾隻同時出現。

White-tailed deer是這公園裡另一個最容易看到的野生動物,這鹿其實很氾濫,尤其是美國東部,而美西看到的主要是mule deer或是black-tailed deer。

公園以及Black Hills的所在地大概是white-tailed deer與mule deer交會之處,理論上可能在這公園與附近區域看到這兩種鹿。雖然我看到路邊的鹿都會check一下,結果全部都是white-tailed deer,還沒在這看到mule deer就是。

這鹿是很典型喜歡在日出或日落時活動的野生動物,比如在路邊吃草或是過馬路。雖然很容易近距離觀賞到,但這動物也很容易製造車禍(比如忽然從路邊草叢衝到馬路上),開車可別太快。
