What is a group of deer?

A group of deer is commonly known as a herd. They are found throughout the world, with various species adapted to specific habitats and climates. Deer are social animals and typically live in herds consisting of females, their young, and a dominant male known as a buck. Some species of deer, such as the elk, may form larger groups called a harem during mating season. In the wild, deer will graze on vegetation, browse on twigs and shrubs, and sometimes consume nuts and fruits. They are preyed upon by a variety of predators, including coyotes, wolves, and mountain lions. Deer are also highly valued for their meat, antlers, and hides.
