In Flanders the roe deer was mostly confined to the hilly regions in the east, but like in neighbouring countries the population has expanded in recent times. A theory is that the expansion of maize cultivation, which are higher than traditional crops and afford more shelter, has aided their expansion to the west. [33] Britain [ edit ]

Roe deer are most closely related to the water deer, and, counter-intuitively, the three species in this group, called the Capreolini, are most closely related to moose and reindeer.

Roe deer populations gradually become somewhat larger as one moves further to the east, peaking in Kazakhstan, then becoming smaller again towards the Pacific Ocean. [14] The Soviet mammalogist Vladimir Sokolov had recognised this [ clarification needed] as a separate species from 1985 already using electrophoretic chromatography to show differences in the fractional protein content of the body tissues, [15] [16] the next year he showed that there were differences in the skull morphology, [ citation needed] and a year after he used sonographs to demonstrate that the fawns, females and males made very different noises between species. [17] Alexander S. Graphodatsky looked at the karyotypy to present more evidence to recognise these Russian and Asian populations as a separate species, now renamed the eastern or Siberian roe deer ( Capreolus pygargus), in his 1990 paper. [18] [19] The taxa are differentiated by the B chromosomes found in C.pygargus, populations of this species gain more of these strange 'junk' chromosomes as one moves further east. An analysis of 11 different populations gave a mean total length of 107-125.7 cm, shoulder height of 66-83.3 cm, body mass of 22.6-30 kg, maximum skull length of 191-212.2 mm and maximum skull width of 84.3-91.5 mm. The skull is small but somewhat elongated. Lacrimal bones are shorter than the orbital cavity diameter. The preorbital glands are rudimentary and the tympanic bullae are small. Anterior ends of the nasal bones are forked and touch admaxillary bones. Orbits are medium sized. The maxillary bone is comparatively high and is equal in length to the molar row. The dental formula is 0/3 0/1 3/3 3/3=32. ( Danilkin, 1996; Prior, 1968; Sempere, et al., 27 December, 1996)

Could it have died the previous year, and then lay for 15 months ? We're not too sure about this, but we don't think so. But maybe. Would the bit of fur have stayed on the lower leg all that time ? Probably not.

Although roe deer were once classified as belonging to the Cervinae subfamily, they are now classified as part of the Odocoileinae, which includes the deer from the New World. [23] Hybrids [ edit ] Walker, M.D. 2016. Headhunting; the distribution of deer in Great Britain. British Naturalist, 2: 15-25 The roe deer is important as a game animal. The combination of this fact along with their widespread distribution and high levels of abundance make them a popular subject of scientific study. (Danilkin, 1996) Economic Importance for Humans: Negative The roe deer is a game animal of great economic value in Europe, providing large amounts of meat and earning millions of euros in sport hunting. In 1998, some 2,500,000 roe deer were shot per year in Western Europe. [53] In Germany alone, 700,000 were shot a year in the 1990s. [31] This is insufficient to slow down the population growth, and the roe deer continues to increase in number. [53] Wilson, Don E.; F. Russell Cole, eds. (2000).
