A small European deer, with palmate antlers, these are available both FREE & WILD or in a Game Ranch.   Populations of Fallow are found through out New Zealand, and many herds display distinct local character. 

Fallow are distinctive in that they have a variation of colour phases – Black, White and Red, usually with white or cream spots.   The amount of spotting can vary and some individuals can take on a "dappled’ appearance. 

Winter coats are generally less distinctive than the summer coat, often only remnants of the spots remain in the winter coat.

Fallow are a different genus to Red and Sika deer so interbreeding does not occur.
