EYYYYYY

So to start out, my recommendation is just browsing Wikipedia. If you'd like to delve deeper into a species, you can look into the sources listed near the bottom of the page. You'll probably find Valerius Geist's Deer of the World: Their Evolution, Behavior, and Ecology among them -- it's slightly outdated and ridiculously overpriced for a copy, but if you can find it at your local library (or other sources), you should definitely pick it up. Otherwise, encyclopedias of mammals or compendiums of a region's wildlife are also good starting points.

If you're moreso looking for direction on which deer to start with, here are a couple suggestions:

Whitetails (Odocoileus virginianus) are the most well-studied species in North America. If you have a niche question about them, there's probably a reliable answer somewhere.

Sika deer (Cervus nippon) have deep cultural ties in Japan, specifically to Shintoism. They're held sacred as messengers of the gods, especially in Nara Park where harming the deer is prohibited.

Moose (Alces alces) are the largest deer species in the world. They're semi-adapted to the water and can even close their nostrils when submerged.

This is UNTRUE!!!! If you’re new to Catholicism you HAVE to listen to MEEEEEEEEE. Here’s my advice:

Bc so many ppl focus on the idea of telling A Trusted Adult, but even a well-meaning individual can fuck up and let abuse fall through the cracks or not know what to do

Whereas if a child tells LOADS of adults AND other kids, there's far less opportunity for an abuser to do damage control

Consistently telling their story and spreading it around disempowers the abuser to control and coerce the flow of information, or to utilise gaps and weaknesses in systems of reporting or welfare to isolate the child
