Red Deer

Cervus elaphus

Estonia is the northern boundary for the red deer population. The population here has its origins in the introduced individuals. Today there is a strong population on the west coast and on the islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa. On the mainland, the population is growing fast. The deer are strongly moving into Estonia from the south, across the Latvian boarder. The mating season begins in September and usually lasts about a month. The gestation period lasts for about eight months. Fawns are born in late May or early June. One to two fawns are usually born. Adult males weigh on average 200 kg and females about 120 kilograms.
