THE DEER. 







Black-tailed Deer. 



The Black-tail Deer is found upon the shores and plains of the upper Missouri. Its habits are little 

 different from most others of the Deer family, except that, that it does not run at full speed, but bounds 

 along, raising every foot from the ground at the same time. Its ears are unusually long, and its eyes larger 

 than those of the common Deer. The tail is tipped with jet black; from which fact the Deer derives its 

 its specific name. The hair of the animal's coat is long and very handsomely colored. In size it is rather 

 larger than the Virginia Deer, and its hoofs are shorter and wider, and more like those of the Wapiti, or 

 American Elk.
