The word sarcophagus comes from the Greek ÏÎ¬ÏÎ¾ sarx meaning flesh, and ÏÎ±Î³Îµá¿Î½ phagein meaning to eat, hence sarcophagus means flesh-eating; from the phrase lithos sarkophagos (Î»Î¯Î¸Î¿Ï ÏÎ±ÏÎºÎ¿ÏÎ¬Î³Î¿Ï).
Deer (singular and plural) are the ruminant mammals forming the family Cervidae. The two main groups are the Cervinae, including the muntjac, the fallow deer and the chital, and the Capreolinae, including the elk, reindeer (caribou), the Western roe deer, and the Eurasian elk (moose). Female reindeer, and male deer of all species (except the Chinese water deer), grow and shed new antlers each year.
According to Encyclopedia of Life, âboth male and female tufted deer have large, stout upper canines (3), with those of the male forming tusks up to 2.5 centimetres long (4).â. Here is the source: http://eol.org/pages/308480/details.he two main animals they need to be cautious of are Leopards and of course, humans. When threatened, the Tufted Deer will act much like the White-Tailed Deer as they too use their tail to confuse potential predators.
