Fallow-deer
   Deut. 14:5 (R.V., "Wild goat"); 1 Kings 4:23 (R.V., "roebucks").
   This animal, called in Hebrew _yahmur_, from a word meaning "to
   be red," is regarded by some as the common fallow-deer, the
   Cervus dama, which is said to be found very generally over
   Western and Southern Asia. It is called "fallow" from its
   pale-red or yellow colour. Some interpreters, however, regard
   the name as designating the bubale, Antelope bubale, the "wild
   cow" of North Africa, which is about the size of a stag, like
   the hartebeest of South Africa. A species of deer has been found
   at Mount Carmel which is called _yahmur_ by the Arabs. It is
   said to be similar to the European roebuck.
