The clue references an animal that appears orange to humans but would appear greenish/camouflaged to deer (which are red-green colorblind). Deer cannot see red/orange wavelengths well, so orange appears as a muted green/yellow to them. Tigers are orange with black stripes and are a well-known orange animal, though they're not typically associated with deer habitats.
