• Fallow Deer: The Fallow Roar starts late March and ends late April. The head consists of impressive antlers that can measure up to 70cms in height. A nice coat of deep chestnut colour with white spots in summer changing to dark brown with faded spots in winter. Like to inhabit mixed woodland with dense undergrowth. Introduced into NZ from Europe in the 1850s.
