This photo was taken during February 2018 at the UNCW property of Ev-Henwood for another class. The White Tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) plays a critical role in this marshy ecosystem. These herbivorous mammals consume a variety of plant matter including leaves, twigs, fruits and nuts, grass, corn, alfalfa, and even lichens and other fungi. In the Ev-Henwood system, they likely eat a high volume of nuts and seeds that primarily come from oak trees. In this case the deer was investigating the sent trap attached to the tree likely in hope of finding a snack.
