European Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus)

The European roe deer is a small and graceful herbivore that thrives in forested and open areas. These deer are known for their solitary behavior, feeding on grasses, leaves, and young shoots. They are most active during dawn and dusk, avoiding predators during the day. During the mating season, males establish territories and defend them through vocal calls and antler clashes.

In reserves, roe deer are protected from poaching and habitat destruction. Conservation efforts focus on preserving their natural grazing areas and maintaining a balance in the ecosystem. Their role in spreading seeds and aiding forest regeneration highlights their importance in maintaining biodiversity.
