Nice. Very clear cut differences. Each deer has a different spot pattern in the coat. It is always different. In addition to the differences pointed out by Saktipada ji, also the left one has a white star like sparkling spot at the base of the neck. The antler growth is a lot dependent on calcium in their diet and when they shed the antlers porcupines feast on those. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Liked the display of the grassland habitat. Good you got both of them looking towards you. Nice big antlers on both. The differences can be obvious to a trained eye, as mentioned by both Saktida and Sabyasachi :). Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

The inner top tines are really well down on the main antler beams on the left Stag,a really lovely photo for me.
