available reference data for the determination of the skeletal age of West European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus): ( I) molariform tooth eruption, substitution and wear (scoring procedu re), (2) cheek-teeth crown height measurements, and (3) fusion of cranial and postcranial bones.
A roe deer, Capreolus capreolus, is a species of small to medium-sized deer native to Europe, Asia, and parts of Western Asia. Characterized by their relatively small size, reddish-brown fur, and distinctive white rump patch, they have antlers, typically with two tines, which are grown by males and shed annually.
Bucks have short (<30 cm) antlers with 3 points or tines on each. The aim of this guide is to provide information on aspects of the ecology and behaviour of roe deer to aid in the management of this species.‡. Roe deer are a truly native species.
