1. Reproductive Seasonal
Reproductive seasonal was one of the thing of deer that make this creature special. This breeding method need certain time or season, for the reason of this, every animals that done this method was called as seasonal breeders, included deer. So, yes, deer is not the only animal that exhibit this particular reproductive method.

2. The Seasonality was Different between Male and Female
But first, let’s know what seasonality is; so, the seasonality is the seasonal changes of temperature, for the examples are: the length of the day and rainfall. All these factors contribute to the reproductive seasonal that exhibited in deer. You need to understand, that in such extreme seasonal’ climate changes are often fell to the worst: this situation influenced to the length of day which is the main important cue for the breeding season.
