The Living Forest (299) : Red Deer

It’s early autumn.
In the forest the yearly mating ritual of the red deer, called the rut, has begun again.

“The King of the Forest” shows his tough looks just before sunset. There awaits him a heavy night.

Mature stags (males) compete for the attentions of the hinds (females) with a very distinctive and loud "roar" that can be heard for miles around in the forest.
The hinds are initially attracted to those stags that both roar most often and have the loudest roar call.

The stags also compete with posturing and antler fights with other stags, with the aim of establishing dominance and mating.

Dutch name : Edelhert
German name : Rothirsch
Latin name : Cervus elaphus

Location : Hertogenwald at Eupen (Belgium)
