Today the largest mammal in our homeland. It lives in packs of sometimes more than 50 animals, strictly separated according to gender.
The female packs live in pure family groups. Basically, they are led by an experienced, female adult. Only during the rut do deer and hinds come together; usually only one strong deer mates with all the female animals in the pack.
The "roaring" of the deer is considered an important way to distinguish the territory from deer of the same size in the neighboring territory. (Source: wildpark-eekholt.de/unsere_tiere_stellung_rotwild.htm)
