White-tailed Deer

The white-tailed deer is greyish-brown on the upper-parts and white on the belly and underside. The tail almost cover entirely a white small rump. The juvenile shows a more brownish upper-part with white patches. When experiencing a danger, the deer will raise its tail, the white rump communicating the danger nearby. The white-tailed deer could be mistaken for the mule deer. However, the white rump is larger and not totally covered by the tail for the mule deer.
