Meeting the pregnant princess of the forest

The European Roe Deer is a deer species of Europe. The Roe Deer is a relatively small deer. The Roe Deer is primarily active during the twilight but from May till August the deer is active during daytime too, very quick and graceful, living in woods although it may venture to grasslands and sparse forests. It feeds mainly on grass, leaves, berries and young shoots. It particularly likes very young, tender grass with a high moisture content. The Roe Deer spends most of its life alone, preferring to live solitary except when mating during the breeding season. The Roe Deer attains a maximum life span of ten years.Meeting the young prince of the forest "Bambi" in the forgotten park of Caste Gunterstein. Well in this case it looks more like a pregnant princess! Such a quiet and forgotten park since we didn't met anybody during our 2 hour walk. That's very rare in Holland ;-) For the movie, Disney took the liberty of changing Bambi's species into a white-tailed deer from his original species of roe deer, since roe deer don't inhabit the United States, and the white-tailed deer is more familiar to Americans.
