Was watching a roe doe over at the horse yard where my other half keeps her horse and noticed she had a less obvious/prominent anal tush. It was there but was very short and not really that obvious.

This got me wondering if this is something to do with winter/summer coat difference, or whether it is indicative of age i.e. younger does have shorter/less obvious tushes?
 
It's more obvious when in the Winter coat like you suggest. You're not going to have to wait long to see the difference as I was out today and the roe around here are in up to 75% winter coat now.

I know a chap who shot a roe doe in Scotland a few years back that also had no anal tush but it did have a penis and some antlers.....strange that. :doh:
