"Most European Ungualtes belong to either the Cervidae or the
Bovids.
There are 38 species of deer in the Family Cervidae. They are a
very succesful family widely distributed throughout the world. Deer
have evolved as runners. They tend to have slight frames but long
legs. The cloven hoves help facilitate fast running. They have good
sences to avoid predators. All deer are ruminants. One particular
feature of deer is that the males often possess antlers, which are
grown from spring and are used in the rut. Unlike horns, the
antlers are not permanant and are lost each year."
