Description

Digital art which had previously been called computer art or new media art, refers to art made using software, computers, or other electronic devices. It can originate from an image or completely from ones imagination. The world is completely opened up to what we see in our minds eye!

Stags are only male, but deer are both male and female. The term “deer” refers specifically to the members of the Cervidae family, so it’s an umbrella term rather than a specific one. Male deer of all ages are called bucks. Female deer of all ages are called does.

Stags have antlers but not all deer have antlers. The morphology of a stag and a deer are different in that respect. Confounding the matter is the fact that stags lose their antlers every year and regrow them anew in time for the mating season to begin.
Thus, the clearest indicator of a deer being a stag or a doe with only a brief look might not be present in the winter when they shed their antlers. However, stags will start to regrow their antlers when the warm weather arrives in spring and their bodies begin to produce more testosterone again.
A major difference between a stag and a deer, especially a buck, is their level of maturity. Stags are not young deer; they’re several years old, fully developed, and tend to be the most powerful deer in any herds that they are a part of.
Also, stags are noteworthy because they are the most aggressive males in their respective herds. These large adult deer grow their antlers so they can use them in fights against other stags that are trying to get mating rights. The difference in maturity helps separate stags from bucks in the realm of deer.
