The dog was not a threat yet the deer attacked anyways. A deers instinct is flight before fight yet for some reason this deer went for the dog as if the deer and its fawn were backed into a corner and had no choice. > > As for your analogy, since when is a residential neighborhood a deers territory? That was the only other thing I could think of that would have triggered the deer yet a deer clearly isnt going to claim an area like a neighborhood as its territory. So the deer wasnt threatened, it wasnt in its territory, yet it attacked, its extremly unusual. The deer attacked because there was a predatory creature dangerously close to itself and it’s offspring. Stop trying to think like a person and start trying to think like a wild animal. Although you could be right, maybe this deer was deliberately out to get this dog. Scoped out the neighborhood a month in advance to learn the dog’s routine and habits, learned it’s every schedule, and when it felt the time was right it just set up the perfect trap. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/oh-look-at-the-cute-deer/252754)._
