The European roe deer is currently considered a monotypic species or one with several subspecies. However, evidence has been presented that shows the subspecies are different enough to be considered separate species. (Danilkin, 1996; Sempere et al., 1996) Contributors

Roe deer are thought to have evolved from a species in the Eurasian genus Procapreolus, with some 10 species occurring from the Late Miocene to the Early Pleistocene, which moved from the east to Central Europe over the millennia, where Procapreolus cusanus (also classified as Capreolus cusanus) occurred. [26] [56] It may not have evolved from C.cusanus, however, because the two extant species split from each other 1.375 and 2.75Myr ago, [57] and the western species first appeared in Europe 600 thousand years ago.

Attempts at conservation and more rational game management of the roe deer resulted in an increase in numbers, with their range being restored as well as extended. (Danilkin, 1996) Both roe and red deer have three premolars and three molars on each jaw. Deer only have bottom incisors, and they have eight of them. Adult red deer skulls have top canine teeth, but they are very small.

Everything I've written

This is just one ( extreme) interpretation among a number of them. Two main specialists did not recognise these taxa and considered the species to be without subspecies in 2001. [23] The European Union's Fauna Europaea recognised in 2005 two subspecies, but besides the nominate form recognises the Spanish population as the endemic Capreolus capreolus garganta Meunier, 1983. [24] [25] In 2008 the IUCN recognised three infraspecific taxa: the nominate and the subspecies garganta and italicus. [1] Systematics [ edit ] O’Rourke, Erin; Lysaght, Liam (22 September 2014).

The roe deer is a game animal of great economic value in Europe, providing large amounts of meat and earning millions of euros in sport hunting. In 1998, some 2,500,000 roe deer were shot per year in Western Europe. [53] In Germany alone, 700,000 were shot a year in the 1990s. [31] This is insufficient to slow down the population growth, and the roe deer continues to increase in number. [53] There are six types of deer that live in the wild in the UK. They are roe deer, red deer, fallow deer, sika deer, muntjac deer and Chinese water deer. The two types that live around my village are red and roe deer, and these are the only two types of deer that have always lived in Britain. Easton, Matthew George (1897).

Would the bit of fur have stayed on the lower leg all that time ? Probably not.

How to identify common mammal skulls found in the UK

Roe deer are the most abundant wild ungulate species in Europe, and their populations in some countries are excessive. This can lead to negative interactions with humans, such as motor vehicle accidents. Game management is often necessary. (Sempere et al., 1996) Conservation Status Deer are the only animals that have antlers. Female deer don't have antlers, apart from reindeer. Antlers fall off every year and grow again. When antlers grow, they have a furry cover on them called velvet, which brings blood to the antler to help it grow. You can see the velvet in the pictures. Start the detective process with size. Vole, shrew and mouse skulls are the size of an adult thumbnail, those of rats and moles are half as long as an index finger, rabbit and squirrel skulls are the length of a thumb, and badger and fox skulls are the size of one or two clenched fists.
