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.
In 1632, Father Andrew White wrote of mammals seen in Maryland: But so great is the abundance of swine and deer that they are rather troublesome than advantageous. Cows also are innumerable, and oxen suitable for bearing burdens or for food; besides five other kinds of large beasts unknown to us..
