Many people visit the Arab world to check out its striking landscapes and rich history. Still others visit the Middle East because they enjoy the wide array of flora and fauna they find only in this region. Today, Kaleela takes you on a journey to learn about some of that wildlife. In particular, we look at the two most widely common species of deer \u2013 the Persian fallow deer and the roe deer.\u00a0 (By the way, these deer names in the Arab world are \u0627\u0644\u0623\u064a\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0627\u0631\u0633\u064a \/ al’ayl alfarisiu<\/em> and \u0623\u0646\u062b\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0638\u0628\u064a \/ ‘unthaa alzabi<\/em>, respectively.)<\/p>\n

Persian Fallow Deer Facts<\/h2>\n

The Persian Fallow deer is a very rare deer of the Middle East. Today, Persian fallow deer\u2019s habitat is in countries from Palestine <\/a>to Iran. Some people who study deer claim it\u2019s a cousin of the fallow deer found in Europe. However its Middle Eastern cousin is bigger and has antlers that are of a flatter shape. Nevertheless, both species have the same chestnut brown coat that\u2019s speckled with white spots.<\/p>\n

Persian fallow deer are plant eaters. During\u00a0summer, their diet mostly consists of grass. What\u2019s more,\u00a0 they also eat certain leaves and nuts. \u00a0<\/p>\n

With just a little over 1,100 of the species living in the world, they are an endangered species.\u00a0 In Palestine alone, there are only 300 living in the wild and 270 of the species living in captivity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Facts About Roe Deer in the Middle East<\/h2>\n

The roe deer is a small, reddish and gray brown deer. They live in most of Europe and as far east as Kazakhstan. They reach a height of around 63\u201367\u00a0cm (2\u00a0ft 1\u00a0in\u20132\u00a0ft 2\u00a0in), and can weigh between 15 and35\u00a0kg (35\u201375\u00a0lb). \u00a0In the Middle East, you\u2019ll find them mainly in northern Iraq and Iran.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Like most deer, they mainly feed on grass, leaves and nuts. They especially like young shoots of grass after a recent rain. What\u2019s more, they will not venture into fields to graze where there is livestock present.<\/p>\n

Frightened roe deer will bark like a dog and flash their white tails as a warning to other deer.<\/p>\n

Once endangered, there are about 500,000 of the deer in the world today and their numbers are still rising. However, because they eat crops and vegetation, many see them as \u201cvermin\u201d these days.<\/p>\n
