They’re so beautiful but people don’t look at them really when they’re used to them, I guess. But just watch the way deer move. They’re incredible.

Also fawns are cute.

I will make this random opinion post ‘educational’ by adding that deer are ungulates, and that only female reindeer keep their antlers in the winter. This last point may depend on the species of reindeer though, I’m not sure.

On a not really related note, how tf do bighorn sheep and/or goats balance so confidently when they climb cliffsides. I will have to google this later.

    Yeah, cute and incredibly stupid. We were driving down a road with lots of deer crossing it which was fine and we had to do some mild emergency braking, till a baby deer stared at us as we were approaching and just as we were supposed to pass it, decided to cross the road. We didn’t hit it, but it scared the beejesus out of me.
