The red deer stag (Cervus elaphus) is a magnificent and iconic species of deer found across Europe, Asia, and North America. Known for its impressive antlers and majestic stature, the red deer stag is a symbol of strength and vitality in the animal kingdom.
Adult red deer stags have a distinct reddish-brown coat with a lighter underside. During the mating season, known as the rut, male stags grow elaborate antlers that can reach impressive sizes. These antlers are used for both combat and display, as stags engage in fierce battles to establish dominance and secure breeding rights.
