Frightened Deer Scales 6 Foot Fence To Escape Backyard

Sometimes we don’t really have an explanation about the things we do. We may be lacking a bit in the muscle department, but we still manage to lift some heavy weight when we are in danger and even run faster than a gazelle when we are being chased. It all boils down to survival instinct. Our body senses that we are in some sort of danger and our brain sends a message to our muscles to work harder so we can survive. You may be wondering how all of this is possible and the simple answer would be - hormones.

Humans might consider themselves superior to other species, but at the end of the day, we are all animals. This means that if hormones help us survive, the same thing happens with other animals and this video shows us exactly how it’s done.

In this footage we have a young deer that jumped the fence into these people's backyard. It was trapped inside and couldn’t find an escape route. They opened the gate, waiting hours for it to leave, but it was to no avail. Once the deer started coming dangerously close to the pool they decided to try to draw its attention to the gate, fearing he might fall inside. The deer, however, had other ideas, leaping over the 6ft fence as if it was nothing. After it made its escape, the homeowners looked over the fence and it was already halfway down the street. No deer were harmed in the making of this video!
