Of course, you can also recognize a red deer by the large antlers on top of their head. The antlers can weigh up to 15 pounds and are used by red deer to impress conspecifics.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b7cffc8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"57932\" data-id=\"b7cffc8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-86b4243\" data-eae-slider=\"81742\" data-id=\"86b4243\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff2bbc4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ff2bbc4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>2.

Where some people rarely spot wild boars in the Veluwe, we actually see them every year. Especially towards the end of the day when it gets dusk. Then they scurry past the cottage in search of food. Wild boars are omnivores. So they root in the earth in search of insects, mice, rabbits, roots, tubers, grass and much more. The best thing about wild boars is that they live in groups, so if you see one wild boar, more are sure to follow.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-22319da elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"61838\" data-id=\"22319da\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bbe7412\" data-eae-slider=\"98644\" data-id=\"bbe7412\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b48835c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b48835c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>4.
