The Surprised Forest Deer Stands Still

A wide-eyed young buck stands frozen, his fuzzy ears perked and tail fluffed like a spiky paintbrush. Every hair on his back seems to stand at attention, and his little antlers tilt just so above his head. His round mouth hangs open as if he just heard the silliest squirrel secret in the woods.

His long, skinny legs look like they're trying to tiptoe away, but he’s much too shocked to move. Behind the curious deer, a patch of empty space waits for giant green trees, fallen leaves, or maybe a giggling chipmunk. This little guy’s face says it all—something wild must have just happened in his part of the forest!

Fun Fact!

Antlers differ from horns (found on animals like cattle or sheep), which are permanent, made of a bony core and keratin sheath, and usually grow throughout life without shedding.
