A bachelor herd of Fallow Deer stags, Studley Royal, Ripon, North Yorkshire, England.

            The fallow deer, Dama dama, is a ruminant mammal belonging to the family Cervidae. This common species is native to Europe, but has been introduced to many parts of the world. A social, elegant species with a signature speckled coat and mighty palmate antlers. Introduced to Britain by the Normans 1,000 years ago, fallow deer have lived in our woodland for centuries. 

Typically, fallow deer have a light chestnut-brown coat with white spots during the summer and a duller grey-brown coat in the winter. However, it is not uncommon to see deer with darker brown and even black fur. Occasionally, some fallow deer are born with white coats.

The species has a white rump with a distinctive black horseshoe outline and white-fringed tail. Fallow deer grow to around 90cm tall. The male deer, known as Bucks, grow distinctive palmate, meaning palm-like, antlers which are shed and regrown yearly, becoming increasingly elaborate over the deer’s life.

Fallow deer graze on grass, herbs and leaves during the summer and eat bark, fungi, nuts and berries during the winter.
