The white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), also known as the Virginia deer, is a medium-sized deer found throughout most of the continental United States, southern Canada, Mexico, and Central America far south as Panama. The species is most common in the eastern portion of its range, and is absent from much of the western United States, including Nevada, Utah and most of California. It can adapt to a variety of habitats, from deserts in Arizona and New Mexico to mountains in West Virginia.
