Is it true that deer have no gall bladders?
These graceful animals usually weigh from 70 to 600 lb. They have compact bodies and long legs, so it is no wonder that they are good swimmers and jumpers.
Their stomachs and other organs, including teeth, are adapted for such a life style, but their peculiar trait is that they have no gall bladder.
What are your thoughts on this subject?

Whenever there's a true-false, the answer is always true!

Options should be Yes or No.

Several species of mammals ( including horse's,deer,rat and laminoids) several species of birds,lampreys and all invertebrates do not have gallbladder.

Does this apply to all ruminants or just the deer branch

How are organs and TEETH adapted for swimming and jumping, which is all that the explanation offers us about the deer's lifestyle?

An old hunter’s tale, “A deer cannot be poisoned they have no gall bladder”. How true that is I don’t know but I do doubt it.
