The roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) is a species of deer found throughout Europe, from the British Isles to Russia, as well as in some parts of Asia. It is a relatively small deer, standing about 75 cm at the shoulder and weighing an average of around 23 kg.
Roe deer are highly adaptable and can be found in various habitats, including forests, agricultural land, and even suburbs. Primarily herbivores, they feed on leaves, shoots, and buds of various plants, including trees, shrubs, and grasses.
During winter, roe deer consume dry grass, much like cows. Essentially, they feed on hay during the winter months.
Hunting roe deer is popular in many parts of Europe, especially in countries like Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. It often takes place in autumn and winter, with hunters typically using rifles or shotguns to take down their prey.
Some hunting methods, such as baiting or spotlighting, are illegal in many countries and are considered unethical by hunters and conservationists alike.
Now, let’s look at the puzzle. In the picture, you see a young roe deer running through the forest. The puzzle question is: who is the poor animal fleeing from? And where is the hunter hiding in this picture?
