Answer 4

Deer belong to the Family Cervida. There are more than 40 different species in four different Sub Families. The moose, Alces alces is the largest of all deer and in the states we have mostly White-tail deer - Odocoileus virginianus and Mule deer - Odocoileus hemionus. Dancer, Prancer and the rest of that gang are Rangifer tarandus (my kids claimed that I ate Rudolph when I was in Norway - I think it was actually his cousin)

Answer 5

Deer make up the family Cervidae of the order Artiodactyla. The European elk, or moose, is classified as Alces alces. South American pudus make up the genus Pudu, and musk deer the genus Moschus. The Chinese water deer is classified as Hydropotes inermis, and the caribou, or reindeer, as Rangifer tarandus. The red deer make up the genus Cervus, and the roe deer the genus Capreolus. The white-tailed deer, or Virginia deer, is classified as Odocoileus virginianus; the mule, or black-tailed, deer as Odocoileus hemionus; and the American elk, or wapiti, as Cervus elaphus.
