Pot gozdnih živali smo postavili z namenom, da v te kraje zvabimo radovedne geolovce in vse, ki uživate v lepih razgledih. Pot, ki se bolj ali manj zložno dviga iz vasi Nemilje proti Jamniku vas bo vodila po širokih gozdnih poteh. To pot, ki je tudi markirana, smo odkrili pred kratkim, povsem po naključju in takoj se je porodila ideja, da sem postavimo nekaj zakladov. Naš mali geolovec je že pravi naravoslovec kateremu njegov domišljijski svet bogatijo zgodbe gozdnih živalih. Vabimo vas, da se z nami podate na zanimivo dogodivščino in se ob tem naučite še kaj novega o naših gozdnih prebivalcih. Bodite pozorni na podatke, ki se nahajajo v posameznih zakladih, saj vas na koncu čaka še Bonus zaklad. No, pa se podajte z nami na živalsko, gozdno dogodivščino 
# 6 Jelen
Je naš največji jelen. Dlaka je poleti rdeče rjava, pozimi sivo rjava. Samec ima na čelu razvejano rogovje, samica (košuta) pa je brez rogovja. Jelen ima največje rogovje po desetih letih. Rogovje odraslega jelena je sestavljeno iz dveh vej (parožki). Parožki na vrhu veje tvorijo t. i. krono. Naši jeleni tehtajo do 250 kg, košute pa do 150 kg.
Jelen je aktiven zlasti v mraku in ponoči. Podnevi počiva v zavetju dreves, z mrakom pa gre na pašo. Je prežvekovalska vrsta, ki se hrani predvsem s travami. Jeleni so čredne živali. Njihov življenjski prostor so predvsem gozdovi od nižin do gornje gozdne meje. Najpomembnejši plenilec jelenjadi je volk.

We set up The forest animal trail for curious kids and those who enjoy the beautiful scenery. The path rises from the village of Nemilje towards Jamnik. It will lead you along wide forest paths. We discovered this path, which is also marked, recently, quite by accident. And immediately we came to idea to put some caches here. Our little geocacher enjoys nature and his imaginary world is enriched by the stories of forest animals. We invite you to take an interesting adventure with us and learn something new about our forest inhabitants. Keep an eye on the information contained in the individual cache, as the Bonus cache is waiting for you at the end. So, come with us for an animal, forest adventure
#6 Deer
Deer is our biggest deer. The coat is red-brown in summer, gray-brown in winter. The male has branched antlers on the forehead, and the female has no antlers. Deer have the largest antlers after ten years. The antler of an adult deer consists of two branches (paros). The stripes at the top of the branch form a so-called “crown”. Male deer weigh up to 250 kg, and female deer up to 150 kg.
Deer are active especially at dusk and at night. During the day, they rests in the shelter of the trees, and at dusk they go to pasture. They feed primarily on grasses. Deer are herd animals. Their habitat is primarily forests from the lowlands to the upper forest border. The main deer predator is the wolf.
