Coues White-tailed Deer Looking Up

A White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) doe looking up into the trees at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum outside of Tucson, Arizona.

White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus couesi) are browsers, feeing primarily on twigs and leaves. These deer are the principal prey of the Mountain Lions and Mexican Wolves found in the mountains of the Sonoran Desert region.

White-tailed deer often hide during the daylight hours and are most active at dusk and dawn.

A deer's primary defense against predators is to avoid detection. White-tailed fawns, like all deer young, are protected by a spotted coat which camouflages them in the dappled light of a forest.
