Odocoileus virginianus - The white-tailed deer has an extensive range stretching from Canada to Bolivia. A subspecies, the Columbian white-tailed deer of Oregon and Washington, is considered an endangered species. The white-tailed is a ruminate, an animal with a specialized digestive system allowing it to eat grass and other plant based foods low in nutritional value. The food is first passed to a section of the stomach to be processed by bacterial actions. It is then regurgitated for additional chewing before final digestion.
