$The red deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the largest deer species. A male red deer is called a stag or hart, and a female is called a doe or hind. The red deer inhabits most of Europe, the Caucasus Mountains region, Anatolia, Iran, and parts of western Asia. It also inhabits the Atlas Mountains of Northern Africa; being the only living species of deer to inhabit Africa.. \nRed deer are ruminants, characterized by a four-chambered stomach. Genetic evidence indicates that the red deer, as traditionally defined, is a species group, rather than a single species, though exactly how many species the group includes remains disputed. The closely related and slightly larger American elk, or wapiti, native to North America and northeastern Asia, had been regarded as a subspecies of red deer, but recently it has been established as a distinct species. The ancestor of all red deer (and wapiti) probably originated in central Asia and resembled sika deer. \nAlthough at one time red deer were rare in parts of Europe, they were never close to extinction. Reintroduction and conservation efforts, such as in the United Kingdom and Portugal, have resulted in an increase of red deer populations, while other areas, such as North Africa, have continued to show a population decline. \n\nThis is a common Species in the Netherlands. They are restricted in closed wired Areas. This Picture is made in Flevoland (Oostvaarders Plassen).$

Just a few weeks before rutting starts in earnest, and this mature male red deer stag ( Cervus elaphus ) is already out to impress, standing like a stag at bay. He's not quite ready to take up cudgels yet, however – minutes later he was feeding together with two other mature males, both of whom will surely be bitter rivals in a month's time. Examples of red deer rutting action: .
