"Red deer are among the largest species of deer in Europe, Western Asia, and Northern Africa. The species has also been introduced to other parts of the world. Closely related to the American elk , red deer are characterized by their reddish-brown fur. A typical buck also called a stag, may weigh in between 160.00 - 240.00 kg (350 - 530 lb) and develop large antlers over its lifetime. Stags are easily distinguished from their female counterparts, hinds, by their thicker necks. Red deer live in larger groups and tend to inhabit broadleaf deciduous forests with flat terrains and open meadows. However they can be found in steeper areas and higher altitudes as well. They are herbivores and pose little threat to humans unless startled at close range."

Trivia[]

  • The Red Deer (Cervus Elaphus) is part of the original list of animals huntable at launch (December 2016).
  • The Great One was introduced in November 2021.
  • "Red Deer" is the equivalent of "Rothirsch" in German.
  • They are the 4th largest deer species in the world, and the 5th largest in game. They are surpassed only by the Sambar Deer, the Rocky Mountain Elk, the Roosevelt Elk, and the Moose.
  • Red Deer are easily recognizable by their distinctive "roar" or "bellow" which, next to its cousin (Roosevelt Elk), is considered one of the most iconic calls among deer.
  • They are very social animals and are known for living in herds.
  • In the wild, they can live up to 20 years, but on average tend to live up to 15.
  • The fur of red deer goes hollow during winter, which traps a layer of insulating air close to their body, keeping them warm.
