White-Tailed Deer

I was walking around on my hiking trail one morning and I came across a group of white-tailed deer and was excited to get a picture of them for the biodiversity project. I tried to get as close as possible to get a good picture to properly identify them later. As I got closer they scared off and I was unfortunately not able to get a clear picture before they did I was very disappointed because that was a species that I really wanted to include. A few weeks later on the same trail I came across another doe that stood in the middle of a long stretch of the trail and this time I didn’t make the same mistake and zoomed in as far as possible to get a good picture. Odocoileus Virginianus is its scientific name stems from the genus Odocoileus that includes similar species like the Mule deer.
