Nature Fact

Roe Deer have cloven hooves that leave tracks (slots) in muddy places and on favourite paths.  Well-trodden tracks may sometimes be seen around a single tree or bush.  These are known as ‘Roe rings’ and may be related to courtship behaviour.  If disturbed, Roe make off in a series of terrific bounds and up to 16 metres may be covered in a single spring.
