Fallow deer

The fallow deer here at Scandinavian Wildlife Park are a bit special because they are so incredibly tame. This is something that takes a long time to achieve. In this herd, the tame animals have been bred over many years and the animals have always had contact with humans since they were small and accompanied by their mother. The little calves learn from the first day that humans are not dangerous, and eventually they come and eat from your hand. But remember: The fallow deer may only be fed with specially prepared food, which can be purchased in the entrance and stall It is important to stay on the paths, as the grass is the animals’ area – and there they should have peace and quiet if they want it. If they want to come and talk – they will do so. The fallow deer come in many colors The fallow deer can be anything from completely black to completely white, but the most common color is dark brown with white spots. Above the tail, and down each side, they have a black horseshoe pattern, and they have a black line down the tail – it therefore looks as if they have the number 111 written on the back.
