Deer Facts There are 17 subspecies of white-tailed deer in the United States. They range dramatically in size from the 80 pound Key deer of southern Florida, to the 300 pound Northern Woodland whitetails found in Minnesota. The velvet covering on deer antlers is considered to be an aphrodisiac in many Asian countries. When fighting red deer stags lock antlers, they sometimes get stuck. When this happens they starve to death. The average resting heart rate of an adult deer is 37 beats per minute. The average resting heart rate of a new born fawn is 177 beats per minute. The odds of seeing three albino deer together are 1 in 79 billion. One man defied these odds and snapped a photograph of 3 albino deer in the woods of Boulder Junction, Wisconsin.
