The fallow deer (Dama dama) is an even-toed mammal in the family of cervids (Cervidae). The species' scientific name was published as Cervus dama in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus.[2] Between the ice ages, fallow deer lived as far away as Western Europe, among other places, but the last ice age drove the animals to Asia Minor. The Romans brought the species back with them and spread the animal throughout the Roman Empire,[source?] today it is found on all continents except Antarctica. The fallow deer is the species most often kept in deer camps. The Mesopotamian fallow deer (Dama mesopotamica) from Iran and Iraq was sometimes considered a subspecies of the fallow deer.
