What is a deer's behavioral adaptation?

Depending on what subspecies of deer, like the white-tailed deer, is very fast to avoid predators and will attack a threat as a last resort using their antlers, they are very picky eaters only chosing the plants with the highest nutrientional value but have to eat a lot to store the fat supplies for winter as their coating is not very thick and provides little insulation. Such behaviours changeand is very dependant upon the animals physiology, deer have managed to adapt to human presence and the disturbance produced by vehicles but seem unable to adapt to the potential danger of vehicles and will run across roads to reach a new feeding ground (ex. the amount of deer deaths reported in the new forest due to car collision). They adapt their food source for during the winter to eating moss, bark, twigs and leaves. They communicate using olfactory communication, spraying pheromones, using the urine and faeces of other animals they can determine the physiological state of it. well, i don't have time to go into to much detail on that but if you go to the "source " website then a lot of useful information is on there.

Not everything has to be an adaptation, but assuming it is, there is likely an adaptive value to demonstrating emotion in a social animal such as humans. I don't know the specific answer to your two questions, but you might start with Darwin's "Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals", he discusses it there, I'm sure there's been work since.

very little is different - their are more similarities in fact.. both are made of cells and their cells are very similair until you get to DNA structure.. but even that is somewhat similar.. both have hair, give live birth, produce milk for their young (both are mammals). both have vertibrae, ribs, legs, etc.. similar bones just some are longer than others in different parts of their bodies.. both need to eat and both produce waste.. both value their lives equally\n\nthe few differences are one eats meat the other is strictly vegetarian.  Deer have longer limbs for running and eyes widely spaced to see a preditor and set on a longer neck.. Lions have close set eyes designed for locking onto prey, they have claws for catching as opposed to hoofs for running, and stronger forelimbs - build to kill\ndeer - built to run

to increase their ability to be fast and agile.. thats basically the only defense they have against predators unless they can hide in a burrow....

Deer mainly forage after crops have been removed from the fields.  They will look for crops left behind, acorns, grasses, barks.  Anything they can.  We plant turnips for them in the summer and they come there all winter and they dig them up and eat them.

They adapt to their surroundings... where they live, the animals around them, the plantlife, the food they eat, the climate, etc.\n\nHere is a bunch of info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panda_bear . You can find the specific details to each thing I listed.

Just today I was wondering the same thing.  I was on my way home from the store and there was a dead deer laying on the side of the road, and not even 1 min, before I had nearly hit a dead possum.  I guess some animals can't get the message to there brain fast enough, the poor dears.

to have a good idea have a look at the article below. hoppe it helps...\n\n\n\nPollination Adaptations\nFlowers need to be pollinated. Pollination is the process of moving the pollen grain from the anther of a stamen to the stigma of a carpel. There are a few flowers that can self-pollinate all on their own, but this limits them to inbreeding. Most species rely upon some kind of pollination vector to accomplish pollination. The vector can be any agent that can move pollen from anther to stigma. \n\nThere is evidence of water and wind as the pollination vector in certain species, but many species do not depend upon the random or downstream-only pollination pathways offered by these vectors. Indeed such vectors are only useful in situations where large populations of a very limited number of species are present. \n\nMost flowers have evolved to use a "smart bomb" or "magic bullet" vector...animals! These vectors have sensory organs to locate flowers, they have locomotion to get them to the flowers in spite of large spaces between individuals, and they have enough intelligence to remember that they can depend upon a reward if they visit one particular species repeatedly. \n\nAttracting the Pollinator\nIn order to effectively use an animal pollination vector, a flower needs to attract the animal for the first visit. This can be done in one of two ways: visual cues and olfactory cues. \n\nVisual Cues\nSome species use a color pattern known as a "bull's eye" to mark their position in the environment...to stand out against a background of green foliage. Obviously not too many animal-pollinated flowers are leaf-green! \n\na black-eyed susan...recall that there are over 100 species of unrelated black-eyed susans...one of the problems of common names. This one is in the genus, Rudbeckia. Notice its obvious bull's eye target appearance. The bull's eye is black and the yellow ring surrounds it to make it quite noticeable. \n\n\nThe daylily (Hemerocallis) also shows a prominent bull's eye, but notice how the color pattern is reversed. The bull's eye is light in color and the ring around it is very dark. The effect is the same however, the flower is going to be obvious to a potential pollinator flying overhead. \n\n\nIt is important that whatever color pattern is used is within the visible range of colors observable by the pollinator. Colors obvious to one animal may be invisible to another. Gaillardia (painted daisy). This species obviously uses a yellow bull's eye with surrounding red and yellow rings. One gets the appearance of a dartboard just looking at it. The pollinator visiting is butterflies. Butterflies definitely are attracted to red/yellow patterns, and they need the large landing platform provided by this wide flower. \n\n\nOn the other hand, Gaillardia does not limit its pollination to just butterflies. An afternoon of observation will tell you that even more visits are made by honeybees! Bees have no ability to perceive red colors, so how does that red/yellow pattern look to a bee? This requires some mental translation and some special photography for a human to appreciate what a bee might observe. \n\nFirst we need to eliminate red from the image. This can only be accomplished with fancy video work or black-and-white photography.\n\n\nBee vision does not include red, but it does extend into the ultraviolet. In other words, bees see colors that are invisible to us! Our film is not very sensitive to ultraviolet because it has been developed for showing images visible to humans. To correct that and see the ultraviolet patterns in these flowers, we need to use yet another filter. This filter blocks visible light and allows ultraviolet light to expose the film. Below is the ultraviolet image of the same two daisies taken seconds later with both filters in place: \n\n\ncenter of each daisy is totally absorbing the UV light. The petals around the perimeter are reflecting the UV

Deer usually satisfy most of their moisture requirements with the browse they eat.  Green plants have a high moisture content.  In hot weather or more arid parts of their range, they will need to drink, usually just once a day.

Changing a small thing in the environment has a HUGE impact.  And everything in nature is a balance.  (Read on for a better explanation, but first...)\n\nOk, I read this last year so forgive me if my memory is incorrect.  But this is the story where the wolf is killed, which allows the deer to take over the mountain, which ultimately means the destruction of the mountain.\n\nEverything has a purpose.  Nature is a balance.  It is the wolf's job to keep the deer in proper number.  Without the wolf, the deer become over-abundant.  This leads to more plants being eaten by the deer because there are more deer.  Then, because more plants are being eaten, there is not enough plant-life to maintain the increase in deer.  So the deer begin to die or move on because there is not enough food for them to eat.\n\nFrom the perspective of a human, the wolf is just a threat.  But from the perspective of the mountain, the wolf is a necessary part to keep everything in balance and to keep everything alive.

Different plants and animals have different abilities to adapt.  Plants like Kudzu and Russian Thistle adapt quickly to new environments, while certain orchids and flowering plants are very sensitive to changes.  The same holds true to animals-gorillas seem very sensitive to environmental changes, while closely related chimpanzees are much hardier.  If there is an extreme enough change, most plants and animals will die, as has happened a number of time in history-but, the dominant life on Earth, bacteria, will adapt just fine.

A few of many.\n\n1) Nocturnal habits. By minmising activity during the hottest parts of the day less water is lost to cooling, in addition to avoiding the high temperatures.\n\n\n2) Burrowing. Almost everysmall desert animals burrows> But many large animals also burrow in the desert. Things like warthogs, spotted dogs, wombats and hyaenas all burrow. Burrowing is a way of avoiding the sun. In addition the air temperature below the ground is always fairly constant, menaing it is cooler by day and warmer at night. The burrow also traps any moisture the animal breathes out or loses to sweating, slowing further loss.\n\n3) Seasonal activity. Most deserts have distinct wet and dry seasons. Many desert animals like shrimp or frogs will will hibernate in some form through the dry part of the year and only reemerge when it rains.\n\n4) Migration. Many desert animals are migratory or nomadic. This allows them to follow the available water and food. Animals like kangaroos, wildebeest, camels and bison are all nomadic or migratory in desert environments.\n\n5) Evolutionary adpation. This is a grab bag that covers all sorts of things. For exmaple many desert animls have highly efficient kidneys so they don't lose much water in urine. Camels have specially shaped blood cells that won't clog up their veins when their blod thickens as they dehydrate. Sidewinder snakes have evolved a method of moving over hot shadeless ground that minimises the amount of that they absorb. And so on.

I think animals are way more intelligent than we can imagine, but certainly they are not as intelligent as us, but that's not like a reason to be dead or whatever, because they have a porpouse here you know, and it's how it's meant to be, they don't care that they aren't intelligent they just do what they are supposed to do, and it's not to think. Of course I wouldn't like to be a deer and the only thing that i could do was wait until I get killed by other animal. thanks god I'm a human

Well..this could be very interesting...take for example the cute little deer that live in the woods....they mate and make more little deer...for as long as there are nuts, berries and twigs to eat....when the food starts to run low...the deer begin to starve....they then get sick...many die if not from illness then from weakness when the snow falls.....add a policy of no hunting and you have a recipe for tragedy...carefully managed hunting thins out the herd and makes it healthy....the option is to introduce wolfs and bears ...of course...when they get hungry they will eat any available protein.......balance in a nutshell....good luck
