The White-Tailed Deer

For the white-tailed deer, attentiveness is a matter of life or death. Attentiveness is extremely important for us, too. We have to be attentive to those around us in order to learn and to live.

• The deer’s ears swivel like radar antennas, enabling it to focus its hearing in a particular direction.
• The deer’s eyes are spread wide apart, allowing it to see almost completely around itself.
• A deer can focus on nearby and distant objects at the same time, seeing what it is eating while keeping a watch for predators.
