- After mating, a roe deer's embryo pauses for months before it starts to develop, so fawns are born in spring.
- Roe bucks drop their antlers in late autumn and grow a new pair, covered in velvet, within a few months.
Could you guess it from clues?
WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
