💡 Everyday Comparisons for Size, Mass & Speed

  • 💡 It is hunted in Russia and China for its meat and decorative antlers, and Mongolia sells hunting permits.
  • 💡 A male's maximum weight of 48.6 kg is slightly heavier than two 20 kg bags of rice (Comparison).
  • 💡 Because it feeds on farm crops, farmers regard it as an agricultural pest.

📖 1. Overview

The eastern roe deer is a medium-sized deer living in temperate forests of northern Asia, called Noru on the Korean Peninsula.

🦴 2. Anatomy & Morphology

Its hind legs are longer than its forelegs, and the male's antlers measure 28–33 cm in length with three tines. Its coat is grayish brown in winter and reddish orange in summer.

🔍 3. Ecology & Behavior

It eats the leaves, flowers, and stems of over 600 plant species, and also feeds on twigs, mosses, and lichens in winter. It mates in July–September and usually gives birth to twins.

🇰🇷 4. Connection to Korea

An isolated population also lives on Jeju Island (ADW), and ADW notes that populations in both North and South Korea have declined due to poaching and habitat loss. It is listed under the Korean name Noru in the National List of Species of Korea.
