__White tailed deer__
====White tailed deer are beautiful! I have four questions that I was curious to find the answers to. First, where do they spend their summers? How many babies can does have? Also,what do they do in the winter? Finally, what do they eat?====

Where do they spend their summers?
====White tailed deer spend their summers grazing in meadows and move into forests during winter for protection from the elements. In the summer they typically inhabit fields and meadows using clumps of broad-leaved and coniferous forests for shade.====

How many babies can a doe have?
====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.====

====Adult white tails have a reddish-brown coats in summer which fade duller grayish-brown in winter. Male deer, called bucks are easily recognizable in the summer and fall by their prominent set of antlers, which bear a number of tines, or sharp points. For food white tails mostly eat bark on the trees.====

What do they eat?
====White tails 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 down and dusk.====
