EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty of a trio of fallow deer in their natural habitat. The image captures a male and female fallow deer, accompanied by their young fawn, against the backdrop of an Israeli landscape. The male deer still retains the vascular layer of velvet covering its antlers, which is responsible for supplying oxygen and nutrients to the growing bone. This unique feature is clearly visible in the photograph. The scene depicts a moment frozen in time, with all three members of this family unit standing alert and watchful. The doe stands gracefully beside her mate while keeping a close eye on their developing baby. The stag's majestic antlers covered in velvetine add to his regal presence. These fallow deer represent an important part of Israel's diverse fauna, contributing to its rich wildlife heritage. As ruminant mammals belonging to the cervidae family, they play a vital role within their ecosystem. Through this stunning image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of nature's wonders and how it continues to evolve around us. It serves as a testament to both the biological intricacies found within these animals and our own fascination with them as observers of the natural world.
