About the Coues Deer
Scientific Name: Odocoileus virginianus couesi
Coues deer are smaller than other white-tail deer, following Bergmann's Rule that average size is greater for animals farther from the equator. The Coues deer was first identified in 1895-1896 by an army physician stationed in Ft. Whipple, Arizona, Dr. Elliott Coues, who pronounced his name “cows.” Despite the original pronunciation of the doctor’s name, it is now more commonly pronounced as “cooz.”
