In order to mitigate risk while foraging, roe deer remain within refuge habitats (such as forests) during the day. They are likelier to venture into more open habitats at night and during crepuscular periods when there is less outside activity. Similarly, roe deer are more likely to be spotted in places with nearby forests to retreat to if there is a perceived threat.[1]
