An unmistakable symbol of the Scottish Highlands, the red deer has impressive branching antlers and a dark, reddish-brown coat. The red deer plush toy was made with great attention to detail and makes a wonderful gift for anyone who loves these majestic animals.
The most characteristic feature of the red deer is its impressive antlers. These can be up to 1 meter long and weigh up to 15 kg. They shed their antlers once a year, which means that they fall off and a new one grows back. The new antlers are covered with a soft, furry skin called velvet, which is rubbed off when growth is complete. The antlers usually regrow to the same size and shape. Deer with the largest antlers are lucky because they are the ones that females find attractive. To compete for the females, the deer roar, run parallel to each other and fight.
