4 Winds:
The core idea of this months' 4 Winds was that deer have a huge impact on the forest ecosystem. They are the most important herbivores in the forest. They create fertilizer for the trees, and trees provide buds and flowers for deer to eat.
Deer are a staple in a predators diet, like a coyote. Predators keep deer fast, they have to run for survival. And the deer keep coyotes agile by needing to chase them.
Deer stick together to stay safe.
A 100 pound deer needs to eat 3 pounds of twigs and other deer food a day.

Deer can see 310 degrees since their large eyes are on the side of their heads.
Deer pelt is great insulation in winter.
Deer have large ears to hear predators.
A deer can jump 8 feet high....
...and 22 feet long!!
