The white tailed deer is a big game mammal found throughout the state. Estimates place its population at more than four million. It food is primarily twigs, leaves, grasses, forbs (weed plants), fruits and nuts. Breeding takes place as early as September in the coastal area and reaches a peak in Southern Texas in December. Fawns, born in seven months, are hidden for the first two weeks, but follow the mother as soon as they are able. The bucks majestic anthlers are shed between December and March, and a new rack is grown the following year, appearing in May. They are used to protect itself or for fighting for territory. They kind of lock antlers together and push each other to see who's the toughest. The strongest or most toughest will win. Predators include the coyote, bobcat, cougar,and wild dog. The male white deer communicates by fighting sometimes. White tail deer mate during the Spring and have little fawns runnning around about summer time. The male white tail deer experiences seasonal changes. The antlers grow furry antlers that are very delicate until they're full grown and then the fur wears off by rubbing it off on trees.

The bears we know today actually have been evolving for some 40 million years. The eight existing bear species are found in varying habitats, in vastly different climates everywhere in the world except Australia and Antartica. But wherever bears are found , they have adapted to their surroundings and the foods that they find there is unique and amazing ways. Polar Bears are found in areas of ice that forms around shorelines of the continents and the archipelagoes at the circumpolar Anctic. This area has the highest concentration of food sources available, that food most often being in the form of ringed and sometimes bearded seals. The polar bear's heavy fur and thick fat layer let it retain its normal body temperature even when the therometer outside reads -35 F. Their fur, which appears white is actually clear and hollow. It focuses solar heat down to the bear's black skin below. While hunting, its white appearance acts as excellent camouflage. The polar bear's body shape is well adapted to its semi-aquatic life, with a narrow head and wedge shaped body it moves quickly through the water. Its huge feet act like paddles in the water and its hind paws are eventually partially webbed for better swimming control. While on land, the polar bear's big feet act as snow shoes and even help distribute its weight when walking on delicate ice. Brown Bear, the direct ancestor of polar bears, don't mind cold temperatures either and inhabit dense forests, tundras and lower alphine mountains in Europe, Asia and North America.
