An osteometric study on recent roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L., 1758).

The analysis of the data shows that the growth of roe deer from the eastern part of Greater Poland (Wielkopolska) is very similar to that of specimens from other areas in Poland. A comparison with excavated bone material revealed only slight and fluctuating differences. The roe deer from the areas to the west of Poland are larger and those from the areas to the east of the country are the largest.
