Abstract
The behavioral audiograms of two female white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) were determined using a conditioned-suppression avoidance procedure. At a level of 60dB sound pressure level, their hearing range extends from 115Hzto54kHz with a best sensitivity of −3dB at 8kHz; increasing the intensity of the sound extends their hearing range from 32Hz (at 96.5dB) to 64kHz (at 93dB). Compared with humans, white-tailed deer have better high-frequency but poorer low-frequency hearing.
