Before an in depth analysis about the visual perceptions of both the common barn owl (Tyto alba) and the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virgiriianus) can be provided, it is important for the reader to understand the environments of which these organisms can from. Unlike the Odocoileus, the Tyto genus are nocturnal, medium sized creatures with white-brown fur, and are found in almost all parts of the globe except Antarctica (Harris, 2002). In regards to the courtship ritual among these owls, it is the male species that must show-off their flight to the female by chasing after them (Harris, 2002). Once a couple is established, the Tyto owls tend to show fidelity and will not submit to another partner unless there is evidence that their original

Due to this observation, it can be inferred that these creatures tend to favor farmlands or the woods. Their fur consists of color variations in hues of white, red, grey, and brown (Dewey, 2003). Normal diet for these creatures include nutritious plants, fruits, acorns, shrubs, and twigs (Dewey, 2003). To obtain the required nutritional sources needed for their diet, the white-tailed deers actively hunt during the day and night (Communications). When they cannot reach their food in hard to reach places, they will tend to stand on their hind legs (Communications). Additionally, it is interesting to note that the availability of food that can be accessed are determined by the hierarchy of the herds, thus not everyone can receive the same benefits (Dewey, …show more content…
Sometimes the male Odocoileus virgiriianus compete with one another over a potential female mate, which go as far as excluding the other male out of their range of habitat (Dewey, 2003). This can possibly contribute to their low mortality rate of 2-3 years since not enough offspring can be produced, although there are other factors to consider. Lastly, never will these species remain with one partner unless there is a very deep attachment that can somehow make the Odocoileus virgiriianus defy the polygamy norm (Dewey,
