Talk:Roe deer

Deutsch is better
Just like the Red deer article the German article is much much better. If anyone wants to improve this one, they can use that as a base and bring much of the info accross. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.22.241.8 (talk) 16:43, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Fawn picture
Can anyone confirm whether this fawn is a Roe Deer. This website describes the fawn as having two distinct lines of white spots running from the nape of the neck either side of the dorsal to the rump, which would seem to fit. However, I'm not sure whether this is sufficient to identify a Roe Deer fawn. The fawns of Fallow Deer would seem similiar, but also have a black stripe down the centre of the back. -- Solipsist 13:56, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * No it isn't a Roe Deer; as the pic is from Canada, it is probably a White-tailed Deer or a Mule Deer - MPF 20:30, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Roe Deer terrioty
How many hectares does one deer need?--Rhydd Meddwl 15:30, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Very variable, depending on climate, forage quality, presence or not of other competing herbivores, etc, etc. This page quotes 0.5 to 0.7 deer per hectare [500-700 per 1000 ha] for 'suitable woodland habitat' in Britain, while this gives 20 to 30 per 1000 hectares (habitat unspecified) in Estonia. - MPF 16:12, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Version 0.5 nomination failed
This article is considered to fall outside the scope of the Version 0.5 test release, since this version only includes a limited number of articles. It is now held ready for a later version such as Version 1.0 nomination. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 03:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

The article is well-written, but it's a little more than a stub, and the trivia section moved me away, try to import info from the FAs version. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 03:49, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Roebucks are mention in the Bible
Since Roebucks are mentioned in the Holy Bible (KJV - Deuteronomy and I Kings) does anyone have any information on the existence of these animals in the Middle East or on the Continent of Africa, that may pre-date the Europoean species mentioned in the current Wiki data on this animal?

In the Hebrew the word used is tsebiy, pronounced: tseb-ee and it comes from the root word tsabah in the sense of prminence; splendor (as conspicuous); also a gazelle (as beautiful): --beautiful (-ty), glorious (-ry), goodly, pleasant, roe (-buck). Source Strongs Concordance of the Bible Hebrew Dictionary http://www.abibleconcordance.com/40H-6600.htm, H6643 and tsabah is H6638.

Okay, maybe it's not quite as lofty as the Bible, but Ted Hughes also wrote a poem entitled Roe Deer, where the deer appear to have their own secret society. Just thought I should mention it. 86.179.199.85 (talk) 05:00, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Etymology
What is sentence
 * "The was made in in the 5th century Caistor-by-Norwich astragalus inscription as raïhan."

supposed to mean? --CWitte (talk) 13:24, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Good question. The answer, I believe, is reflected in the rewritten Etymology section. Eliezg (talk) 20:59, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Range
Map of range is incorrect. Roe Deer is usual for west and south-west Russia up to Volga on east. For example, in Lipetsk (south-west Russia) roe deer sometimes founded in center of city even: http://gorod48.ru/fortuitousness/news-33253.html (russian language). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.34.226.33 (talk) 11:15, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

repetitive "deer"
I had the notion that a roe deer could be called just a "roe", omitting the "deer". To my minds ear, the continual repetition of the word deer is inelegant. Would anyone object to removing the deer at second reference, or maybe just leave the first instance in each section? --Trovatore (talk) 19:45, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Removed sentence

 * A roe deer is said to have helped Genevieve of Brabant to obtain food for herself and her child after having had to leave their home because of malicious slander.

If anyone has a ref, it can go back in. Samsara 03:13, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
