The red deer is found on an area of approximately 1000 km, the area where the Carpathians lie in Romania. The population is well represented in the mountains and in a few parts of hill and lowland forests. The red deer population in Romania owes its vigor to the specific natural selection of the Carpathian region. As a result of the natural selection in the Carpathians the body size of the deer in Romania is superior to those that live in west Europe, the males reaching a weight of 280 kg. The body length of the male deer is between 220 and 260 cm and 150-160 cm in case of female deer. Their height at withers is of 150-160 cm. In summer the color of the species is reddish- brown and grayish-brown in winter. More details here : http://bearhunting.ro/wildlife/
