Deer are found in many different ecosystems. They live in wetlands, deciduous forests, grasslands, rain forests, arid scrublands and mountains. Sometimes, when human civilizations get too close to home, deer will even make themselves comfortable in urban settings.

Where do deer live and sleep?

When the temperature drops, deer often take shelter sleeping under coniferous trees like pine trees. The dense, low branches of these trees both protect the deer from wind and falling snow while creating a makeshift roof that holds in heat.

What is a deer home called?

They do not have a place called home such as a nest, burrow, or den. Their homes can be in the forests, brush areas, woodland patches, swamps, or even in suburban areas. They move from place to place looking for food. Deer are herbivores.
