What a fallow deer’s height measures

Drawn at the same 2 ft 11.5 in: Guanaco. Same drawing, different listings: a fallow deer’s figure is the lower end of its male range, a guanaco’s the lower end of its range.

This is a published species or breed reference, not a prediction for an individual animal. Where a range is supplied, both ends appear with the reading. Shoulder height and head height are kept apart when comparing animals.
