White-tailed Deer - Odocoileus virginianus

White-tailed deer are common throughout all of Florida.  Their name comes from the white underside of its tail, which it raises like a banner when frightened.  They live along the edges of woodland areas, where they feed on shrubs, bushes, berries, and the bark of trees.  They can grow to be about 4-foot tall and weigh up to 300 pounds.
