Roe deer
The roe deer, also known as the forest goblin, is a small European deer, the smallest and most agile of its type in the Iberian fauna. Adult males usually consist of short, three-pointed horns. Its head is proportionate, with long, erect ears, and large eyes that give it an air of alertness. Its coat changes with the seasons of the year: during the summer it has a bright reddish tone that fades in winter, becoming grayish and more discreet. Adult males rarely exceed 30 kilos and their height at the shoulder is around 70 centimeters, which makes them compact, but well adapted to moving among the vegetation.
The roe deer is an animal of mainly nocturnal and crepuscular activity, although in spring, with the territorial dispute of the males and the growth of crops, it can be seen on the move at any time of the day. During the cold months it forms groups as a defensive strategy, while in summer it leads a more solitary life or in small family groups. Hunting, especially during dawn and dusk, is a real challenge due to its keen instinct, excellent camouflage and elusive nature. It requires patience, stealth and good optics to be successful in this exciting modality.
