"I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls.  They always say because it's such a beautiful animal.  There you go.  I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her."  Ellen DeGeneres  


 

Dama dama (Fallow deer)

Last December we went to a holiday park with the family. We had very much fun with the kids in the swimming paradise there, but we also visited the wildlife park on Saturday. There we saw this fallow deer coming out of the woods. We were very quiet not to disturb it, but the deer was clearly used to people as it walked by at a distance of 10 meters without even being bothered by our presence. We walked a bit further and saw another fallow buck resting between the trees.
