Fallow deer are distinguished by their spotted coats and lyrate (lyre-shaped) antlers in males, native to the Mediterranean and introduced across Europe and beyond. In summer, both does and bucks display the characteristic white-spotted reddish-brown coat seen here—a camouflage strategy that breaks up their silhouette in dappled woodland light, helping them blend seamlessly into their natural habitat.
