Killarney Red Deer Stag
A Stag from the Red Deer herd in Killarney National Park. The Irish Red Deer is Ireland’s largest native land mammal and they have been in the country since the last ice age some 10,000 years ago. On the lowlands the deer are often found grazing in the pasturelands of the Knockreer area of the park and the surrounding woodlands. Red deer have no natural predator in Ireland as we no longer have any wolves. Grasses, heather, mosses, lichens, berries are the mainstay of their diet but they will also happily browse on trees in the spring and early summer.
