Schneehirsch

Snow deer.  

Sure enough - if you look carefully that deer looks sort of fuzzy or chubby in a winter coat.  

Whitetail deer sport a uniquely adapted winter coat that includes coarser outer guard hairs for added insulation.  The insulating qualities are so efficient that snow on the deer doesn't even melt.  The dull brownish-grey winter coat this time of year is superb camouflage. 

The whitetail deer is a remarkably adaptable animal - all the way down to below zero.
