The European Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus), also known as the Western Roe Deer, chevreuil or just Roe Deer, is a Eurasian species of deer. It is relatively small, reddish and grey-brown, and well-adapted to cold environments. Roe Deer are widespread in Western Europe, from the Mediterranean to Scandinavia, and from the British Isles to the Caucasus. It is distinct from the somewhat larger Siberian Roe Deer.
The Roe Deer is a relatively small deer, with a body length of 95–135 cm (3.12–4.43 ft), a shoulder height of 65–75 cm (2.13–2.46 ft), and a weight of 15–30 kg (33–66 lb). It has rather short, erect antlers and a reddish body with a grey face. Its hide is golden red in summer, darkening to brown or even black in winter, with lighter undersides and a white rump patch; the tail is very short (2–3 cm or 0.8–1.2 in), and barely visible. Only the males have antlers. The first and second set of antlers are unbranched and short (5–12 cm or 2.0–4.7 in), while older bucks in good conditions develop antlers up to 20–25 cm (8–10 in) long with two or three, rarely even four, points. When the male's antlers begin to regrow, they are covered in a thin layer of velvet-like fur which disappears later on after the hair's blood supply is lost. Males may speed up the process by rubbing their antlers on trees, so that their antlers are hard and stiff for the duels during the mating season. Unlike most cervids, roe deer begin regrowing antlers almost immediately after they are shed.

Hi Razvan,
Nice photo with great eye contact. Probably, with tighter crop it would be more effective, but I like it in this form, too. Great shot.
Have a happy festive season, best regards, László

Buna Razvan,
Imaginea este perfecta pentru aceasta zi si pentru peisajul care este acum la Sibiu. Frumoase culori si contact vizual.
Sa auzim numai de bine,
Mircea

Buna Razvan,
Frumoasa caprioara. Detaliile si culorile de iarna sunt deosebite.
In jud. Timis inca nu a nins in iarna asta. Din pacate vremea este nefavorabila de vreo 2 luni.....
CRACIUN FERICIT!
Marius.
