- "The roe deer, also called western or European roe deer, is a very common native inhabitant of the European continent. They can be found all over the area, except in the northernmost parts of Scandinavia. Roe deer are a smaller species of deer characterized by their reddish and grey-brown fur. They also make a distinct barking sound when alarmed. Bucks develop antlers up to 0.20 m to 0.30 m (7 - 12 in) in length that typically branch into two, three, or even four points. Roe deer are herbivores, and like to feed on grass and cultivated soil. While primarily a forest animal, they often wander out into fields and areas with more sparse vegetation."

Trivia[]
- Part of the original cast of animals huntable at launch
- In French, they are known as "Chevreuil".
- Bambi was originally a Roe Deer. But Disney changed him to a Whitetail Deer because that species was more recognizable to Americans. The author Felix Salten was a hunter by the way.
- The scientific name for the Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) is together with the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), Fallow Deer (Dama dama), Harlequin Duck (Histrionicus histrionicus), American Buffalo (Bison bison bison), Axis Deer (Axis axis), Moose (Acles acles), Greylag Goose (Anser anser), Willow Ptarmigan (Lagolpus lagopus) and the Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx) a tautonym: a scientific name in which both parts of the name have the same spelling.
