European roe deer are more commonly associated with temperate forests, but their adaptability allows them to thrive on the edges of savannah-like grasslands. These elegant creatures graze on shrubs and grasses, often venturing into open plains during dawn and dusk. Their presence contributes to the diversity of the ecosystem, as their grazing patterns differ from those of larger herbivores. Roe deer are incredibly agile and use their speed and keen senses to evade predators. They play a vital role in seed dispersal, spreading plants as they move through the landscape. Conservation efforts have focused on creating buffer zones between forests and savannahs, ensuring that roe deer have safe habitats that support biodiversity.
