Updated: August 13, 2013 by Jay to correct 1 animation view, to remove unnecessary files and configuration lines, to make some minor adjustments to the animal info, and to make it like the English Elms as much as its most liked in-game foliage. Please note that the version at Taz's site is no longer the most current version, since she is deceased.

The Fallow Deer belong to their own genus, the Dama, which differs from other deer in that the antlers are palmated. There are thought to be two subspecies of fallow deer, the Mesopotamian Fallow Deer, and the European Fallow Deer. The Mesopotamian Fallow deer has almost been hunted to extinction in its native middle east. The European Fallow Deer occurs throughout Europe and is numerous. The European Fallow Deer originally occurred throughout Europe before the last ice age, but retreated towards the Mediterranean and North Africa as the ice advanced. It was re-introduced back into Northern and Western Europe by the Romans. Further introductions were carried out in the middle ages. The Fallow Deer is a popular parkland animal, and has been kept and bred for many centuries. Through selective breeding a number of different colour types have been produced; these include black, white and red forms. The Fallow Deer seems to have evolved from the Sika Deer.
