Deer are herbivorous ungulates mammals forming part of the family Cervidae. Most common known cervine include the white-tailed deer, reindeer (caribou), mule deer, elk, and moose, among others.
Male deer of all species (except the Chinese water deer), female reindeer, and some (prominently white-tailed) does (due to hormonal imbalance), grow and shed new antlers each year.
