🦌 Deer Species Spotlight: Sika 🦌
Sika deer are versatile eaters, both grazing on grasses and browsing on dwarf shrubs like heather. They occasionally eat tree shoots and bark as well. Interesting fact: Did you know all deer lack upper front incisors? Instead, they have a hard pad that helps them tear vegetation rather than cut it!
