How to Identify Cervidae

Key Identification Features

• Males also have a distinctive black "face mask" that curves into an elongated heart shape, surrounding a brown forehead.
• The division of their original range led to the formation of two morphologically distinct subspecies: the Tian Shan roe deer and the Siberian roe deer.
• The most notable feature of this species is the fang-like canines found in males.
• Females often have a dark brown patch on the forehead, while facial markings are much more distinct in males.
