Abstract:
An unusual case of hermaphroditism in a 4 to 5-year-old roe is described. Externally, horn and lactating udder tissue were distinguished. Internally, a fully developed female genital tract with functional ovaries in their proper position were determined. Additionally, two testicles within the intra-abdominal region had developed that were, however, not quite as large as those of mature roebucks. Since a fawn could be traced to a position near the shoot location, it is assumed that it was dealt with a leading doe.
