Odd Experiences with Animals

[Arbellason Marucha]

Just a little post I wanted to make to see what strange experiences people have had with animals and a spot to discuss them. My most recent experience was with a Buck (male deer for those who don't know) I was walking and when I saw it, it stomped with it's front hoof and scratched the ground several times then repeated stomping while bobbing it's head up and down. Then it backed away and ran off after 2-3 minutes.

It is always such a wonderful experience to see the animals come in and out of my every day life and teach me new things, protect and inspire me. People without words.

Ah, I forgot it is mating season for them however. The reason I found it odd is because I have seen that deer before and it didn't have a care in the world that I was there.

Well that's a typical natural reaction of a male deer towards you being seen in it's territory,though it's own fear of you made it back away,you only have to watch a ram to see the same behaviour...things may not have been the same for you if it had been mating season however.. as it may have charged you..seen you as a threat to its stomping grounds & threat to his females..I've seen what part pheromones & a threat play in this mating season and it aint very pretty,you really dont want to go there & think you will come out unscathed,but most of the time they will hide from you,they are a timid creature by nature & rely on smell to warn them of the unfamiliar presence of humans to which they normally avoid....but if they feel threatened,they can become fearless..
