The flashing eye, thickeaed neck, hne along flanks, and manner of holding head to one side are 

 characteristic. The bucks look more dangerous than they really are, though they often fight 

 among themselves.

The mother is licking her newlv born offspring, which lies in the snow. The fawns are very hardy 

 from the first and very few die at fawning time. They are able to follow their mother imme- 

 diately after birth. (Photograph by Lomen.)
