Africa has only one inhabitant species, the Red Deer, confined to the Atlas Mountains in the northwest of the continent. Deer lives in a diversity of biomes ranging from tundra to the steamy rainforest. While often linked with forests, many of these types of animals are ecotone type that lives in middle areas between forests, thickets and savanna (open space). The group of large deer species live in temperate mixed deciduous forest, mountain varied coniferous forest and tropical seasonal/dry forest. They are also found in the savanna habitats around the world.
Clearing open areas within forests to some degree may actually profit its populations by exposing the understory. This allows the grasses, weeds, and herbs to grow that deer like to eat. Additionally, access to adjacent croplands may also benefit deer. However, sufficient forest or brush cover must still be provided for populations to grow and flourish. Small species of brocket deer and pudus of Central and South America and muntjacs of Asia generally occupy dense forests. They are less a lot seen in open spaces, with the possible exception of the Indian Muntjac. There are also numerous species of deer that are extremely specialized, and live almost wholly in mountains, grasslands and swamps. They are also found in wet savannas, or along river banks bordered by deserts. Some deer have a circumpolar distribution in both North America and Eurasia.
