Types of deer

For many types of deer in modern English usage, the male is a buck and the female a doe, but the terms vary with dialect, and according

to the size of the species. The male red deer is a stag, while for other large species the male is a bull, the female a cow, as in cattle.

In older usage, the male of any species is a hart, especially if over five years old, and the female is a hind, especially

if three or more years old.[5] The young of small species is a fawn and of large species a calf; a very small young may be a kid. A castrated male is a havier.[6]

A group of any species is a herd. The adjective of relation is cervine; like the family name Cervidae, this is from Latin: cervus, meaning stag or deer.
