Red deer (or elk), Cervus elephus, have several subspecies. They live in or near woodland in Europe, Scandinavia, North America, North Africa and parts of northern Asia. In Britain they are recognised as the magnificent creatures that roam the Scottish highlands. 

Tannins from deciduous browse stems for mule deer (Odocoileus hemioms), white-tailed deer (O. virginiams), moose (Alces alces), carbou/reindeer (Rangifer tarandus)y and elk Cervus elephus) did not lower protein availability, but tannins from flowers, forbs, and tree and shrub leaves did. Tannins must be taken into account in understanding the defensive strategies of flowers and leaves (Robins et al, 1987). Furthermore, lesions are found in the gut of animals that normally do not consume tannins in quantity, whereas they are absent from animals that do. For example, Papilio...
