Fallow deer is the common name for species of deer in the genus Dama of subfamily Cervinae.[3] There are two living species, the European fallow deer (Dama dama), native to Europe and Anatolia, and the Persian fallow deer (Dama mesapotamica), native to the Middle East. The European species has been widely introduced elsewhere.
