Deer Do Eat Meat

I was searching for instances of carnivory or scavengery in deer and found your site. FYI, you are incorrect. Deer have been documented to consume meat, eggs, etc.


See the American Midland Naturalist for more info. Also, national geographic has a blurb on consumption of sea bird by Red deer.

just fyi.


From the webmaster: Thanks for the info. I have no doubt hungry deer will eat anything.
