Black coats are rarely seen in the wild, although they are the second most common species of hoofed game in Germany. They change their appearance and behavior in different seasons. This can be seen well here. There are also display boards on the enclosure.

The game reserve of the city of Göttingen lies at the top of the Kehr in the Hainberg in Göttingen.
It is supervised by the staff of the specialist service Stadtwald. They take care of the animals in case of illness, feed special food every morning in the autumn / winter months, inspect the fence every day and always keep an eye on the animals and the terrain.
The area in which the fallow deer lives is about 20 ha in size. There live about 40 to 50 animals in a pack in their natural environment.
