The white-tailed deer is the most common of all of North America’s large mammals. It is also the most widely distributed. A deer's home range is usually less the a square mile. Deer collect in family groups of a mother and her fawns. When a doe has no fawns, she is usually solitary. Male bucks may live in groups consisting of three or four individuals, except in mating season, when they are solitary. White-tailed deer mate in November and the female has one to three fawns after about six months after mating.

The apartment complex at which I live... my building is over my left shoulder (as I shot this).
Apartment living can be rather expensive, but it has been a real treat for the last eleven years to not: A) shovel snow or 2) mow the lawn!
(I just noticed... those are my boot prints on the sidewalk!)

Photo: LMcRae/NPWS - NPWS aerial spot-spray control of bitou bush on steep sections of Coffs Coast Regional Park to protect this significant natural landscape.
Aerial spraying supports other control techniques including hand removal, cut-and-paint, ground-based spraying and planting of native species.
The areas to be affected by the program are Macauleys Headland, Diggers Head, Charlesworth forest, White Bluff, Woolgoolga Headland, Darkum Rocks, Mullaway Headland, Oceanview Headland and Arrawarra Headland within Coffs Coast Regional Park.
Aerial spraying of bitou bush infestations with very low rates of glyphosate or metsulfuron methyl in winter can control the weed whilst not affecting hundreds of native species, leaving them to grow and gradually replace it.

White-faced saki monkeys at Edinburgh ZooEdinburgh Zoo has a breeding pair of white-faced saki monkeys, as well as a young female that was born in January 2007 and a male that was born in April 2009. This is great for the breeding programme! When the youngsters reach sexual maturity, they will be moved on to another collection. In the wild, young saki monkeys of this age would move away from their family group to look for a partner and start their own family.
When white-faced saki monkey youngsters are born, they are the same colour as the adult female regardless of the sex. They will stay that colour until they are about 2 months; at that point, if the baby is a male, the black hair starts to come through and the white ring around the face appears.

White-faced saki monkeys in the wildWhite-faced saki monkeys (Pithecia pithecia) are given that name because the males have a white ring around their faces, although the females do not. Both males and females are a grizzled brown colour with slight white streaks on the side of the nose. They are found in the rainforest of the Amazon Basin, and live in evergreen, coastal, secondary, and gallery forests. They are rarely found in flooded forest. White-faced saki monkeys spend most of the time in the trees, rarely going down to the ground, but they have occasionally been found on the ground or on new-growth trees.
White-faced sakis use the lower levels of the trees because of the competition with food with bearded sakis (Chiropotes satanas). White-faced saki monkeys have long fingers and long nails, which make gripping branches and moving around in the trees easier. They prefer to move around in the trees on solid branches in the lower to middle-canopy levels.
The wild diet of the sakis is an interesting one; fruit intake is about 55-60 percent, seeds 30 percent, and flowers 6-7 percent. Their diet occasionally includes animal prey, such as small birds and bats.
White-faced saki monkeys have special canine teeth, which enable them to crack large nuts that other monkeys would leave alone. They also eat termite nests, which are high in iron. When sakis need to drink, they will go to a hollow or hole in the tree where water has gathered and put their hands in, then lick the water droplets off the hand.
White-faced saki monkeys have an aggressive display. This can start off with a growl, then they will start shaking their body with an arched body posture and a growl. If that doesn’t work, then they start to shake branches using their whole body.

White-tailed deer, the smallest members of the North American deer family, are found from southern Canada to South America. In the heat of summer they typically inhabit fields and meadows using clumps of broad-leaved and coniferous forests for shade. During the winter they generally keep to forests, preferring coniferous stands that provide shelter from the harsh elements.
Adult white-tails have reddish-brown coats in summer which fade to a duller grayish-brown in winter. Male deer, called bucks, are easily recognizable in the summer and fall by their prominent set of antlers, which are grown annually and fall off in the winter. Only the bucks grow antlers, which bear a number of tines, or sharp points. During the mating season, also called the rut, bucks fight over territory by using their antlers in sparring matches.
Female deer, called does, give birth to one to three young at a time, usually in May or June and after a gestation period of seven months. Young deer, called fawns, wear a reddish-brown coat with white spots that helps them blend in with the forest.
White-tailed deer are herbivores, leisurely grazing on most available plant foods. Their stomachs allow them to digest a varied diet, including leaves, twigs, fruits and nuts, grass, corn, alfalfa, and even lichens and other fungi. Occasionally venturing out in the daylight hours, white-tailed deer are primarily nocturnal or crepuscular, browsing mainly at dawn and dusk.
In the wild, white-tails, particularly the young, are preyed upon by bobcats, mountain lions, and coyotes. They use speed and agility to outrun predators, sprinting up to 30 miles (48 kilometers) per hour and leaping as high as 10 feet (3 meters) and as far as 30 feet (9 meters) in a single bound.
Although previously depleted by unrestricted hunting in the United States, strict game-management measures have helped restore the white-tailed deer population.
