There is a lot of smaller animals in the Park.
THE FALLOW DEER
he Fallow Deer is a ruminant mammal belonging to the family Cervidae.
The male is a buck, the female is a doe, and the young a fawn. Bucks are 140-160 cm long and 90-100 cm shoulder height, and 60-85 kg in weight; does are 130-150 cm long and 75-85 cm shoulder height, and 30-50 kg in weight. Fawns are born in spring at about 30 cm and weigh around 4.5 kg. The life span is around 12 years.
Only bucks have antlers, these are broad and shovel-shaped. They are grazing animals; their preferred habitat is mixed woodland and open grassland. During the rut in October bucks will spread out and females move between them, at this time of year fallow deer are relatively ungrouped compared to the rest of the year when they try to stay together in
THE RACCOON
accoons are unusual, for their thumbs (though not opposable) enable them to open many closed containers (such as garbage cans and doors). They are omnivores with a reputation for being clever and mischievous; their intelligence and dexterity equip them to survive in a wide range of environments and are one of the few medium-to-large-sized animals that have enlarged its range since human encroachment began (another is the coyote). Raccoon hindfeet are plantigrade similar to a human's. Raccoons are often considered a nuisance, and are common in Campgrounds of North America, especially in the Midwest. Many people are usually surprised when a creature that they usually think of as cute or cuddly raids their campsite at night and makes odd growls and fights viciously over scraps of food left out by campers.
THE BEAVER
his is one of the largest rodents.
The adult can weigh up to 100 Ibs. Its front limbs are delicate and agile whereas its hind limbs are large and palmed. Its tail serves as a rudder when it swims, as a prop when it walks and as a lever to drag logs. They can be observed swimming on the surface of the water as they cross the lakes..
