Deer are found in many ecosystems and are interesting animals that can survive challenges. The author saw a three-legged deer last fall and this winter, amazed it could live a year with only three legs, showing deer are strong. Deer prepare for winter by storing fat under their skin for energy during the colder months.

1. Did you know that deer are found in
many different ecosystems? Deer are
very interesting animals. Most
recently, I saw a deer with no more
than 3 legs! I think I saw that same
deer last fall. I cannot believe it
survived for the whole year, even in
the winter with only 3 legs! This also
means deer are very strong. Deer start
to prepare for the winter months before
it gets too cold. They do this by
storing fat under their skin, which
gives them energy for the winter.
