About Coues Deer

The Coues deer (Odocoileus virginianus couesi) is a subspecies of the White-tailed deer found in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It is a medium-sized deer, with a reddish-brown coat and distinctive white tail.

Coues deer are known for their agility and are capable of jumping over obstacles and escaping predators. They are herbivores and feed on a variety of vegetation, including leaves, shoots, and grasses.

These deer are primarily solitary animals and are active both during the day and at night. They are known for their vocalizations, including grunts and whistles, which they use to communicate with other members of their species.

Coues deer populations are generally healthy, but they face threats from habitat loss, disease, and hunting. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their habitats and preserve their populations, including measures to promote sustainable forestry practices and support research and monitoring programs.
