In Poland, the average body weight of a male is about 150 kilograms, while the female often does not exceed even 100 kilograms.

Information
In Poland you can meet the Bieszczady deer, which is the biggest one, and a bit smaller ones in Wielkopolska, Pomerania and Mazury.
For the noble species the appearance of their antlers is very important. The larger it is and the more antlers there are, the more the female will pay attention to it. The appearance of the antlers, however, also indicates the condition and health of the individual.
These antlers can reach different weights, the heaviest antlers can be as heavy as 12 kg, the lightest only 3 kg and the average weight of such antlers in Poland is about 8 kg.
Usually even at the end of August you can hear the roar of this animal in the forests. However, in September you can hear it the most and from far away, because this voice can be heard for several kilometers. This cycle in the life of deer is called the roar. This concert begins in the evening, when dusk begins to fall and ends only at dawn.
