What does the deer eat and how it gets food?

Deer are herbivores, meaning they only eat plants. Their diet consists of grasses, leaves, twigs, buds, and fruit. Deer are ruminants, which means they have a four-chambered stomach that allows them to digest tough plant material.

Deer use their teeth and tongue to tear leaves and grasses from the plants they eat. They also use their hooves to dig up roots and tubers. Some deer species, such as the moose, also eat aquatic plants.

Deer typically feed at dawn and dusk, when the temperatures are cooler. They are also more active during these times because there is less competition for food from other animals.
