A subfamily of deer (Cervidae) containing true deer species like red deer and fallow deer.
From Latin cervus (deer) with the Latinized subfamily suffix '-inae', used in scientific taxonomy to classify a subgroup within the larger deer family.
Cervinae represents the 'true deer' subfamily, and they're particularly successful in the Northern Hemisphere—their adaptation to temperate forests gives them an evolutionary advantage that's allowed them to dominate Europe and Asia.
