Fallow deer, Bradgate Park, Leicestershire, England

Fallow deer are known for their striking coat, which changes colour with the seasons and is often adorned with white spots in the summer. During the autumn rutting season, males spar with each other to establish their dominance. These male deer can be spotted by their palmate antlers, which have a broad, flattened surface. Fallow deer are native to Europe and parts of Asia and are a common sight in Leicestershire, England, particularly in Bradgate Park. This 3.4-square-kilometre park not only offers a sanctuary for these animals but also features beautiful landscapes, woodlands, and the Beacon Hill Tower, which offers panoramic views of the area.
