some shrubs. They prefer burns and cutovers in forestlands and croplands that serve the purpose of revegetation. Human modifications, i.e. felling of trees and formation of croplands and meadows, as well as intensive agricultural methods, have historically been beneficial in regions with little snow. (Sempere et al., 1996) Capreolus capreolus is classified as a telemetacarpalian. It is a small deer with a long neck minus a mane, relatively large ears (12-14 cm), a rudimentary tail (2-3 cm) and no preorbital

Capreolus pygargus eastern roe deer

historically considered a subspecies of western roe deer, (Capreolus capreolus), but research in 1987 and 1991 identified characteristics that differentiate the two species. For instance, Siberian roe deer are noticeably larger than western roe deer. Furthermore, Siberian roe deer males have antler pedicles that are more widely spaced compared to western roe deer. Finally, Siberian roe deer have reddish summer pelage, whereas western roe deer have gray-brown summer pelage. Siberian roe deer have a mating

Pelea capreolus common rhebok

their group and begin to try to establish their own territory (Nowak, 2001). In the wild, P. capreolus has been reported to live 8-10 years. In captivity P. capreolus does not thrive and is rarely found in captivity (Nowak, 2001). P. capreolus is active during the day in sporadic bouts of grazing and resting, tending to rest in shade during noon hours. The antelope forms two types of social groups. The first consists of many females and one dominant male, which is normally a collection of around 8 animals

Luscinia megarhynchos common nightingale

food and make nests safely. Due to the recent decline in the population of common nightingales in England, researchers have investigated whether a cutback of suitable habitats may have caused the decline. Various factors, including climate change, changes in the quality of habitats, the introduction of Reeve's muntjacs (Muntiacus reevesi), and the re-introduction of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) have all contributed to population declines in Britain. Reeve's muntjacs and roe deer graze in the woods

Lynx lynx Eurasian lynx

Capreolus capreolus), musk deer (g. Moschus species) and chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) comprise most of their diet, but they have been known to prey on ungulates as large as elk and caribou in winter due to the prey’s vulnerability in deep snow. Eurasian lynx also supplement their diet with red foxes, rabbits and hares, rodents and birds. They kill prey up to 3 to 4 times their size and consume 1 to 2 kg of meat per day. Eurasian lynx stalk their prey from the cover of thick vegetation, using stealth to

Lynx lynxes

Capreolus capreolus) and red deer (Cervus elaphus) are prime examples (Podolski et al., 2013). Because Lynx species are apex predators, they also are used as a reliable indicator of ecosystem health (Delibes, Rodriguez, and Ferreras, 2000). During the height of the fur trade, Lynx pelts were highly valuable and Lynx species were subsequently trapped to obtain their fur. This practice is largely credited with the reduction in numbers of all species of Lynx, leading some species to near extinction. Lynx are

Panthera tigris tiger

Not all of the prey is eaten; some parts are rejected. Prey are usually dragged to cover and may be left there and revisited over several days. The majority of the tiger diet consists of various large ungulate species, including sambar (Rusa unicolor), chital (Axis axis), hog deer (Axis porcinus), barasingha (Rucervus duvaucelii), barking deer (Muntiacus muntjak), elk (Cervus elaphus), sika deer (Cervus nippon), Eurasian elk (Alces alces), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), muskdeer (Moschus moschiferus

Pudu puda southern pudu

shrubs. They can stand on the hind legs or fallen logs to reach food. Their competitors include other herbivores: European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), fallow deer (Dama dama) and European hares (Lepus europaeus). Southern pudus are ruminants, with four-chambered stomachs. The mean transit time of a meal is approximately 29.9 hours. In captivity, southern pudus eat a wide variety of fruit, vegetables and fungi. Plant foods include: Gevuina avellana, Fuschia magellanica, Ugni molinae, Berberis buxifolia
