*** About White-Tailed Deer: White-tailed deer, known scientifically as Odocoileus virginianus, are widely distributed across North America. In the forests of Quebec, these animals play a pivotal role in the ecosystem, acting as both prey and as a species that influences vegetation dynamics through their grazing. Adult white-tails are recognizable by the characteristic white underside to their tails, which they display prominently when alarmed. As adaptable creatures, they thrive in a variety of habitats but prefer the deciduous forests that provide both cover and a range of forage. During fall, they are more visibly active, making them a popular subject for wildlife watchers and artists alike.
