Shaggy deer usually stand about five to seven feet tall. The deer only eat the plants on planet Altoid. The pedators of the deer are beatles but mainly the bears. The deer have evolved to have longer and shaggier hair in order to avoid being eaten by the Aligatorsnakes. If the Aligatorsnakes tried to eat a shaggy deer the hair would get stuck in the throat of the snake and choke it to death, as snakes swallow their prey more often than chew it. The niche that the deer inhabit is a pretty simple one that involves little more that grazing all day long and being eaten by bears or beatles. The deer's family is a matriarchal family which travel in herds. The male is usualy the smaller deer. Shaggy deer families usualy have no more than two offspring at a time and the four deer travel togeter for the first two or three years of the fawn's life. The deer are very easy prey for the bears because they are bulky and slow due to all the grazeing they do and because they are so inactive. The deer, like mose grazing or herd animals, are also very dumb and have poor senses.

 

If shagggy deer were to become extinct bears would lose one of their main food sources. Bears would have a hard time eating just small rodents because they are fast and bears would have to eat many of them to give them the nutrients that a deer would. The plant population would grow and might not be able to adjust to a total lack of preadators. The plants might become too lush and numerous resulting in a depletion of nutriens in the soil. Shaggy deer occasionaly eat Carnivorous plants and help propagate them. The deer is not as helpfull in propagating them as rodents because the pregnant deer does not live long enought to pass the killer plant cells to its children because the gestation period of the deer is 11 months and the parent will die first. The loss of the deer would mean that the plants have one less species to grow from.
