About this resource

This fantastic hand-painted watercolour illustration is perfect for teaching students about the white-tailed deer is the smallest among the deer family found in North, Central, and South America. They have a white tail when displayed vertically.
To create a tactile finished item, I highly recommend printing onto high-quality paper. I like to use watercolour paper, which means that every piece looks and feels like an original painting.
