For the same reason Candadian deer are larger... The phenomenon is known as Bergman's rule, whereraces of warm-blooded vertebrates from cooler climates tend to be larger than races of the same species in warmer climates.
And you guys thought I was just a pretty face!
i disagree with this, because canadian deer get huge racks where its -20 degrees, and texas deer get huge rack where its 100 degrees, the only diffrence is there body, wich doesnt explain why theres such a diff between texas and florida.
plus those texas deer dont seem like they have to much more to eatthan the florida deer,other than cactuses and sand.
