A type of small to medium-sized deer with a reddish coat and white spots, also known as the fallow deer or Persian deer.
From Latin 'dama,' which comes from Greek 'damalis' (a young animal); historically used in Europe to refer to various small deer species, particularly those hunted for sport and food.
The dama deer is a living fossil of ancient forests—it's been around since prehistoric times and was so prized by medieval Europeans that special parks called 'deer parks' were created exclusively to keep them, and they appear in countless heraldic emblems and royal hunting scenes.
