Title
Stag On The Grand Canyon
Artist
Rob Hemphill
Medium
Photograph - Photography
Description
On our journey from Page in Arizona to Tusayan, we were about 10 miles from our destination when we saw this - a stag grazing on the rim of the Grand Canyon in the sunset. It was a hurried photograph as the sun was about to set and the animal refused to turn around and look at the camera! Anyhow, we were fortunate that he stayed for a while before wandering off into the sunset.
Deer live in a variety of biomes, ranging from tundra to the tropical rainforest. While often associated with forests, many deer are ecotone species that live in transitional areas between forests and thickets (for cover) and prairie and savanna (open space). The majority of large deer species inhabit temperate mixed deciduous forest, mountain mixed coniferous forest, tropical seasonal/dry forest, and savanna habitats around the world.
Clearing open areas within forests to some extent may actually benefit deer populations by exposing the understory and allowing the types of grasses, weeds, and herbs to grow that deer like to eat. Additionally, access to adjacent croplands may also benefit deer. However, adequate forest or brush cover must still be provided for populations to grow and thrive.
