Roe Deer
The European Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) is a
deer species of
Europe,
Asia Minor, and
Caspian coastal regions. There is a separate species known as the
Siberian Roe Deer (Capreolus pygargus) that is found from the
Ural Mountains to as far east as
China and
Siberia. The two species meet at the
Caucasus Mountains, with the European species occupying the southern flank of the mountain ranges and adjacent Asia Minor and the Siberian species occupying the northern flank of the mountain ranges. Within Europe, the European Roe Deer occurs in most areas, with the exception of northern
Scandinavia and some of the
islands, notably
Iceland,
Ireland, and the
Mediterranean Sea islands; in the Mediterranean region it is largely confined to mountainous regions, and is absent or rare at low levels.
