Size is a liability when heat is a factor. The whitetail deer in Belize were about that size and the whitetail in South Texas can be really small as well. In contrast, the Canadian Whitetail are monsters.
This often baffled me.....I mean , what about elephants??? It wasn't until I pondered the woolly mammoth's size that it all made sense :P
Okay, so I remain non-affiliated with the HJ crew.....deer will eat banana leaves. I had a doe that would bed in my Ice Cream matte last year. She only nibbled on new pups though and never caused much damage.
