14. Fawn Color 349 - #E5AA70

Terms for young deer vary similarly, with that of most smaller species being called a "fawn" and that of most larger species "calf;" young of the smallest kinds may be a kid.

Deer (singular and plural) are the ruminant mammals forming the family Cervidae. Species in the Cervidae family include white-tailed deer, mule deer such as black-tailed deer, elk, moose, red deer, reindeer (caribou), fallow deer, roe deer and chital. Male deer of all species and also female reindeer grow and shed new antlers each year.

In 2006, hunters spent US$507 million hunting white-tailed deer in Michigan. Deer hunting is a popular activity in the U.S. and generates revenue for states and the federal government from the sales of licenses, permits and tags. The 2006 survey by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that license sales generate approximately $700 million annually.
