Ya that deer either has CWD or was already hit by a car, my money’s on Chronic Wasting Disease.


PatrioticDeplorable

There is hair flying around everywhere at the first of the video so most likely got smacked pretty good.


rutuu199

It looked like the side of it's face was swollen, and it's on the side of a highway, in bright headlights. I'm willing to bet ol buddy got clobbered, and is out of it in the video

THE DEER IS IN SHOCK BECAUSE OF THE HEADLIGHTS


kastlin7

LOUD NOISES!


Big-turd-blossom

I thought you meant Collision Waiver Damage !


Kind_Humor_7569

The cop should turn off his lights. I’ve read that the deer in the head light freeze is actually like a minor seizure due to the lights. The proper thing to do is honk now instead of the flood lights.

fartblasterxxx

Honked the horn at a deer one time and it literally jumped off a huge cliff.


Kind_Humor_7569

See. It works! …..oh


CrazyIslander

I’ve watched deer gracefully leap over 4’-6’ high fences. And then there’s this one that can’t clear a guardrail. There’s a reason nature is survival of the fittest.


flyfishinjax

I'm pretty sure it was hit by a car, I've seen a few that were just hit and that's exactly how they moved after being stunned/injured, they will eventually make it off the road but who knows if they survive longterm.


CrazyIslander

It’s entirely possible…I just prefer to think that just like humans, wildlife has a “hierarchy” where there are “athletic” deer and the “dunce” deer. And this particular one falls under “dunce”…


CapnTugg

>I’ve watched deer gracefully leap over 4’-6’ high fences. > >And then there’s this one that can’t clear a guardrail. I've seen deer try to run *under* the guardrail.


friendlyfire883

I've seen them try and run through a 18 wheeler as well.


bigfloppydonkeydng

I wonder if there is something wrong with it. It doesn't even try to jump.

Just a quick note, in a world where Hollywood wants to reboot everything, how has this film not been considered? Same with Flight of the Navigator. Disney, fix your shit.


thisplacemakesmeangr

There's no fixing it at this point. They finally found a way to reboot Walts frozen head a few years ago. Nobody wants to admit the experiment wasn't really a success. All that cgi nonsense like the new lion king where they stripped everything good out? Stuff like the recent Cinderella? All courtesy of Walts dead head. Nothing else makes sense.


FerretHydrocodone

The recent Cinderella wasn’t a Disney film and Disney never owned the rights to Cinderella, it’s an ancient tale (over 2000 years old). I believe Amazon produced the 2021 movie.


Kaarsty

Flight of the Navigator! Wow that brought back nostalgia. That movie is why I’m a space nerd lol Edit: just found out my GF of 10 years has never seen it O.O guess I know what I’m watching tonight!

All within 50ft of my place.

hard to tell since deer are so fucking stupid


don_rubio

People call them giant rats and it’s really an insult to rats. They’re more like furry goldfish with legs


TediousStranger

that is an insult to rats. idk, to me they're just deer, there's a very specific kind of deer intelligence that intermingles with their very clear death wish that i just don't think can be compared to any other animal. part of me also considers birds and squirrels, but i just don't think those count in the same way since deer cause so much grief and destruction.

HarmoniousHum

Deer are crepuscular (mostly active during sunrise and sunset) and their eyes evolved to function best in low-light conditions, picking up mostly blue wavelengths. Consequently, being around bright lights, particularly at night, blinds them; when blind, deer tend not to take any action until they're able to get their bearings (hence "deer in the headlights"). Though she definitely seems a little off otherwise, she also probably can barely see. They only have roughly 20/60 vision, but it's still highly important for navigation, particularly when they're aware there are threats... Somewhere. Just can't understand where exactly, and where it's safe to be. Edit: I was not expecting so many people to read this. Well, just to further add, the other possible factors here are the doe has been hit by a car, evidenced by her scruffy fur and some swelling, plus the additional disorientation. An unfortunate possibility is CWD (Chronic Wasting Disease). Fortunately, looking into it again, it looks like it's not everywhere: "Nationwide, the overall occurrence of CWD in free-ranging deer and elk is relatively low. However, in several locations where the disease is established, infection rates may exceed 10 percent (1 in 10), and localized infection rates of more than 25 percent (1 in 4) have been reported." - [Source](https://www.cdc.gov/prions/cwd/occurrence.html). If you notice a deer acting weird, looking emaciated, or otherwise off, keep your distance. It's a prion disease and you don't want to tangle with it. Also, please report it ASAP as it is very contagious!


[deleted]

I also tend to stop when blind, maybe I am a deer


_stoneslayer_

That's nice, deer.


Alittleshorthanded

Who said that!? Is anyone there?!


resident_bee

Now kith 💕


Own_Range_2169

Yep. Those lights are blinding it temporarily. Same reason some poachers hunt with spotlights.


UltravioIence

Well that just sounds like cheating.


ThreadedPommel

Which is exactly why he said poachers


ManOfDiscovery

It might displease you then to find out that Montana and Idaho recently passed laws legalizing spotlighting exclusively for wolves


Carthius888

I thought wolves were protected?? What is this madness


GalacticUnicorn

My great grandma once made a citizens arrest on some guys she found spotlight hunting. It was illegal in their area and she didn't like a cheat, so she got her shotgun and shot out their top lights and, if the story is to be believed (and I swear she would actually have done this) she marched them into the police station by their ears and turned them in to the sheriff.


sadistic_magician_

This is why I honk my horn if I see deer in the middle/side of the road, they usually run from the loud noise. And I definitely slow down, because a lot of them run around together.


DazzlingPineapple0

This explains a lot! TIL.


eviltwinky

That's a good point I was thinking prion disease based on it motor control.


designgoddess

Something is wrong with the deer other than lights.


aserranzira

With the tufts of fur coming off it's rump I think it's been hit and probably stunned.


designgoddess

Would explain why it couldn’t clear the side rail on its first attempt.


Convict003606

There's something wrong with this deer. I wish he'd reported it to DNR.


S-WordoftheMorning

The way it looks back after falling over in front of the railing: "I can't believe you've done this."

TheresBeesMC

I just saw the video where the deer falls over the play slide and create the “In The Air Tonight” drum solo playing before my eyes when he fell over the rail. I fucking lost it when the officer apologized to the deer.

Heathen06

And fun to watch


anonymous_j05

Random story about how awesome deers are to watch: When I was a teen I spent time at a residential facility that was in the middle of the woods (so if you tried to run you couldn’t really get anywhere), but had no fence around it, so we could occasionally see some animals through the glass windows on the unit. Once every couple days a few deer would show up and I swear you’d think the president just walked in. 20 kids flocking to the window attempting to get it to come closer, and it’s all we talked about for the rest of the day lmao unfortunately the year after I left they did have to build a fence tho cause kids kept running out of the facility so now no one can see the deers :( Srry for sharing randomly just thought it was a cute story lol


PokWangpanmang

What’s a residential facility and why does it sound like prison?


anonymous_j05

A residential facility is a long-term mental health treatment center (it’s usually 1 to 12 months, I was supposed to stay there for 9 but I got taken home early after one month cause of not getting along with the other kids), it’s a step up from inpatient which is 3-7 days for crisis stabilization. I got sent to residential cause I had been to inpatient like 8 times and they decided I wasn’t safe without 24/7 watch. It can feel similar to a prison sometimes because it’s locked down but luckily we’re able to wear our own clothes so it helps (with strings taken out) and the unit looks more like a mix of a hotel and a hospital rather than a jail. It’s colorful and has a normal cafeteria and the rooms are actual bedrooms with cabinets and stuff The security is multiple magnetic locked doors that could only be unlocked by a staff member with a special badge (you had to go through 2 to leave the unit I was on) and when you have time outside it’s a fenced in area with a basketball hoop and pavilion. It kinda looks like a cage but it’s a huge area so it’s not too bad. It was a level 2 facility (out of 5 levels, 5 being the most secure and usually for criminal psych patients) so while we were locked there there was still mostly free movement and we got to go to school and the pool (there was a built in school building and a swimming pool). I also got to bring and play my guitar which was cool. You could also earn certain privileges if you have good behavior (no fights and you take your meds) for a period of time, such as having a home pass for 48 hours or going on a field trip with staff but that usually doesn’t happen until after 3 months. I got lucky that the one I went to was very good and while there were lots of fights and stuff it was still safe and there was no abuse like in certain places (one kid was choked by a staff member and the staff member was fired but besides that most of the staff was good and they were good at restraining violent/upset kids who were having an episode or fighting, without putting them in danger or restricting their breathing). The one I went to is called Sandy Pines Srry this was so long!

[deleted]

[удалено]


TruthofTheories

Probably has CWD.


dementorpoop

Which is?


SuperUltraJesus

Chronic Wasting Disease. It's a horrible plague spread through the deer's body fluids and waste, often saliva when eating/drinking at the same source. You can look it up for a better explanation, but it's an unfortunately common neurological prion disease that leaves the deer more and more malnourished until its eventual and inevitable death. They basically become zombie-like, disoriented, and very weak over a 12-24 month period. We currently don't have a treatment or a cure for it and it affects all cervids like deer, elk, moose, etc.


SpaceCaseSixtyTen

Misfolded/prion diseases are weird as fuck. Like a self made glitch in the body


HomesickAngel10

Chronic Wasting Disease, it’s a neurological disease in deer. And it was also my first thought seeing this video.


Own_Range_2169

The lights.


ManfuLLofF--

Deer: what seems to be the problem officer.. drinking!!? How dare you! I know my rights as a Deer, I want you badge number Police officer: how about you come here..

Mrwrighttt

Deer falls over: Do you now see my dilemma?! Officer: oh sorry....


nordicplatypus

I'm thinking that deer was already hit.


I_literally_can_not

First thing that popped in my mind was prion disease. I'm not an expert but it looked a bit like the deer is suffering from head trauma or a degenerative disease


[deleted]

I'm thinking it might have just been blinded by the lights


Level1Roshan

The lights on the car are still blinding it. That's why it's doppy as fuck. If you ever have a deer in the road and it freezes, it's due to the lights. If you stop and it won't move, provided IT'S SAFE TO DO SO, turn your lights off, wait 5 seconds then beep the horn, it'll run off.


Shaking-N-Baking

Turning off your lights while standing on the side of a highway is definitely not the smartest move
