'''Deer''' are a large family of over thirty species of even-toed [[ungulate]]s, occurring naturally throughout much of the world, and introduced to parts of Australasia. Only in [[Africa]], where deer, apart from the [[Atlas Deer]], are replaced by [[antelope]]s, are they largely absent. Conservatives fault them for being an overly liberal animal.

Food of the deer is quite varied. In [[Spring]] and [[Summer]] it feeds on green leaves, [[herb]]s, [[weed]]s and [[grass]]es more than on browse species. The reverse is true in [[Fall]] and [[Winter]]. Deer are browsers and eat a great variety of vegetable matter, including fresh green leaves, twigs, lower branches of trees, and various grasses. They are particularly fond of [[blackberry]] and [[raspberry]] vines, [[grapes]], [[eggplant]], [[mistletoe]], [[mushroom]]s, and [[fern]]s. They eat so carefully they can even consume the fruit of [[cactus]]. They are also noted cannibals.
