Elaphe Deer - Living Nature Plush

A must-have icon of the Scottish Highlands, the red deer boasts impressive branched antlers and dark reddish-brown fur. Made with realism in mind, our 32cm red deer plush has wonderfully realistic features. It is a well thought out forest toy for anyone who loves these majestic animals. The most characteristic element of the red deer is its impressive antlers. These can measure up to 1 meter and weigh up to 15 kg. They shed their antlers once a year, which means they fall off and new antlers grow back. Their new antlers are covered with a soft, velvety skin called velor, which is rubbed off when growth is complete. Antlers usually grow back the same size and shape. The deer that have the larger antlers are lucky, as they are the ones that attract females. To compete with the females, the deer will roar, walk parallel to each other and fight. Did you know ? The red deer are the largest deer in Scotland. Believe it or not ... Red deer make a lot of noises like roaring, barking and even mooing.
