On the evening of Friday September 23rd, I came across a deer laying on a grassy hill on the edge of the E parking lot of the University of Lethbridge. The deer looked to be about 5 feet in length from head to tail, and is approximately 3.5 feet from hoof to shoulder. The fur or coat of the animal is a light brown on the top and sides of the animal and white on the belly and tail. The tails also has a black tip. The deer has two forward facing eyes with two large oval ears on the top of its head. The animal appears to feed on the grasses of the surrounding environment which is made up of mostly grassland and trees, which has been artificially created for the University Campus. This animal is quadrupedal, and appears to be very docile in nature mostly likely due to the lack of predators in the area. This deer is known by its common name as White Tail deer, its scientific name is Odocoileus virginianus
