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.
Some of these are parasitic and some have a mutualistic relationship with the deer. Deer have interactions with other animals in the wild some friendly and some not so friendly. Deer are prey to the grey wolf, coyotes, bear, and cougar and mountain lion. Although the deer are in competition with other animals humans might be there largest threat. Overpopulation of humans and deer cause more and more interactions every year. Some consider the deer as pests or nuisances they get into gardens eat from fruit trees and farmers have the biggest concern with them.
