| | DEER |
 | | Deer have a four-chambered stomach, one of which (the rumen) stores undigested food that is later passed back into the mouth, where it is chewed and swallowed a second time. |
 | | Most deer have 32 teeth (formula i0/3, c0/1, pm3/3, m3/3); however, upper canines are present (c1/1) in red deer, wapiti, sika, sambar, rusa, Père David, muntjac, tufted deer and water deer for a total of 34. |
 | | Mule deer are migratory in mountainous areas, summering as high as 8,000 feet (2,400 m), and retreating to lower elevations in winter to avoid deep snows. |
