Yeah, but sometimes I feel there’s more to those babies feeling safe around humans. Maybe it’s me just wanting to think it. But one day I was walking in the woods with my dad’s dogs at about three or four and they had a bad habit of chasing deer and we tried everything we could to stop them. Day we were walking down by the creek and they got after a yearling well all three of them down on top of it and I thought it was a goner so I started running towards the dogs to stop them. Well, I distract the dogs long enough for the Yearling to get loose. Tell me why that yearling ran directly towards me, and that action saved his life because I was able to hold the dogs off and getting their way long enough for it to get away and hide. If it would’ve ran any other direction, it would’ve been a goner. Pretty crazy and weird that baby decided to run right to me for protection. Or maybe it was for some other reason and I’m just stretching. Still pretty crazy though.

I've seen this behaviour on semi domesticated deer in my city. The whole group of them here are largely desensitized to humans and have been fed for decades. It's likely a situation where they do know eachother. The deer here won't go as far as touching but they will come right up to you if you're respectful and get to know them

The fawn was curious or mistook the people for something else, ran closer, realized it might be in danger, and went into a defense mechanism where they just curl up so predators leave them alone. When fawns do this in leaves they're practically invisible, and some predators won't kill something that isn't running, so they have a built in instinct to do this when they feel that they are in danger.

It wasn’t “playing dead”, it was trying to become invisible. It’s a reflex reaction when they feel threatened. In grass or brush it works remarkably well, but isn’t all that effective on asphalt.
Fawns sit in grass like that to evade predators. Somehow it mistook him for a deer and when he realized it went into survival mode, because in nature freezing then falling to the ground in front of predators is an excellent survival technique.. it's shocking that deer even exist with idiot kids like them lolz
@@alienhomicide mothers ditching them isn't the problem. Baby dear have no scent, it's what allows them to hide from predators. When you rub your scent all over them that defense is now gone.
That’s a defensive mechanism that young deer do. It probably thought you were a deer or something familiar and then realized you’re scary. They lay down and freeze so that the “predator” will chase after momma.
@@faded1887 yea because you can totally call a deer naïve. They definitely have the same mental capacity and awareness as humans. If This is what you get pressed about you need a real self evaluation
Earlier, a little deer came to ask for help. Mother deer caught in net After receiving help The little deer came to thank its mother along with the mother deer.
That... wasn't laying down for head scratches, that was a fear response because baby realized it messed up & freaked out - you're lucky mama didn't have somethin' to say about it lmfao
The Baby Fawn was taught to lay down an be still when approached by anything other than deer! You scratched its head an put human scent on it! Fawns are licked by thier mother to keep them scent free. Mothers Will usualy charge at predators approaching her baby’s? If ever seen a person get kicked by a Hoofed animal you would just keep distance an take pics.
@@pamfisher7700 ok….but it still wasn’t kneeling for a head scratch. That’s a defense mechanism in baby deer. Usually, the mothers would leave them in tall grass while they go to graze, so the babies would kneel down flat to hide from poachers and predators. It’s and evolutionary technique that has been instilled into a all baby deers. What I can’t seem to remember is, what are baby deer called 😳? Foals? Fowls? I forget 🤦🏽♀️.
@@karenholladay-ne9go yes, you’re definitely a Karen . Your mockery was uncalled for - people can forget or genuinely not know of the term. What an asinine comment
It kneeled down to the ground because that's what it's Instinct and it's mom taught it to do if it fears something. So at first it was probably curious and then drop down once Instinct kicked in, they do it to hide down in grass/bushes and let its camo work its magic.
Again. Completely wrong. I love all you know it alls are always the ones most sure you’re always right when you’re usually wrong. They saved that baby dear and the mother literally stopped their vehicle to ask for help and leads the man to get that baby free from a soccer net
it kneeled after realizing that when you run towards something...it could activate a defense response from the person it was running towards. a remarkably sensitive, nuanced, intelligent deer.
@@gothboschincarnate3931 nothing remarkable about it really. It’s just a natural instinct. they all have it. I wouldn’t say it’s something special about this particular deer.
@@gothboschincarnate3931 It's really not at all what you are describing. It dropped because it thought it ran into a predator. It's instinct is to drop and blend in, and wait for the danger to pass. You are incredibly naïve if you think instinct is somehow a PSYCHIC skill.
@@gothboschincarnate3931 you sound like a clown lol. The deer ran right into danger and you praise it’s intelligence. Moron lol. Most deers wouldn’t have run towards the human!
Fawns only defense when they feel threatened is what's called "freezeand drop" It was hiding from you, believe it or not 😂 Better keep an eye on momma. Deer hooves are insanely sharp, and they will use them .
@Katie so was the fawn, lol. From what I've actually seen and watched on TV, fawns are about as intelligent as any infant, hahaha. It looks a little small to be traveling through the open with mom. When they're super young, the mother will usually leave them in a thicket by the woods while she forages. Hench the freeze and drop. They lay perfectly still, and those spots are insane camouflage, believe it or not. Maybe the mother was gonna have it hide in the general area? There's tons of hiding spots by houses. Around my area, it seems like a weekly thing where people find them under outdoor stairs, porches, bushes, ornamental grass, etc.
@@gachagamingfox that's literally the natural response deer babies have. They can't outrun or ward away predators, so their usual response is to lay limp and just use the natural cammouflage to not be detected, but it becomes an automatic response. It's literally their natural response to danger lol
@@tinahilbert6014 Wow, you're very sensitive/triggered. It's amazing how defensive people are nowadays to any comments. You're judging me yet calling me judgmental for making a truth statement; oh, the irony. Humans are predators to these prey animals, and the deer was acting on instinct. It doesn't mean the person filming was going to harm the deer, but the deer didn't know that.
Deer don’t do that. It’s only a myth that parents tell their children to stop them trying to grab wild animals. The same goes with birds. They will not leave them because of a scent
It's so young, and happy to be alive. Then it realized it had just made a fatal mistake. Did the only thing it knows to do, by instinct. Drop and don't move. Don't know why it came over, but hopefully it's still young enough. To still regain its fear of humans. It's one of the ways, they survive.
It was a fear response, imagine if a bunch of black teenagers toting guns approached you and your wife and demanded they inseminate her on behalf of future scientists everywhere. You woud do exactly the same. Harmless. You are the baby deer.
It's because baby deer confuse the sounds humans make for the sounds deer make, we have simular vocalizations to deer, so he likely feeling hungry, approached the man for food
@@courtneyholder3400 Don't know bout the, "being hungry" part. It's mother is right there. Now on the vocalizations? I can agree on that, or more so. The sound range, have heard deer sounds/calls. That did confuse me, for a sec. Just can't get over the way, and the look it had. When it came over. It does not grow old.
It absolutely was not leaning down to get a head scratch in any way. It fell into that position out of fear. Baby deer are curious, but they usually get scared upon closer inspection.
*Just here to see all the idiots say the same comment about the deer not kneeling to get its head scratched…. As if 100 other people haven’t said it already* 🤦🤣🤡
@@videosofthemusclegod1910 I personally think it's kind of neat the way so many people, from possibly all over the world, have such common thoughts and knowledge about things like this.

It doesn't bother me to be called an idiot, because I know I'm not one, but it's sad that you feel the need to say it to people for reasons like this. I sometimes comment without reading any comments yet, and I'm sure other people do as well. Even if they do though, it doesn't matter.
No that thing took a kneel and accepted it’s fate. From a far, the deer didn’t think you were such a giant until it got up close. Once it got a better look, it was like “yeah I’m done” “take me if you will!” 😭
Wild animals don’t just walk over to something they’ve never seen before to be pet. It was curious, realized you may harm it and tried to hide itself Edit: okay I understand now, he saved the deer, stop telling me Edit: omg read the first edit stop telling me 🤺
There was a first video where the guy who is filming followed the mother deer who lead him to the fawn that was stuck in a soccer net, and the guy filming helped the fawn escape the net, and now this video is when he saw those same deer later.
My guess is, the fawn was about to die from a distemper type infection, and the doe realized her only hope was to allow him or her to approach a human.
That deer was not waiting for a head scratch. When they lay flat like that, they think they are invisible. They are taught to go motionless when they sense a predator .
Where is this school where the little deer students learn all the tricks of 'deerdom'❓ In reality, the mother, upon birth, licks the newborn clean of any scent and seemingly abandons the fawn.. She returns to the fawn to nurse when the pressure in her udder gets uncomfortable.. With twins, most common, and/or triplets, more common than single births, the fawns normally are individually bedded down, which improves the chances of each fawn's survival.. EVERYTHING about whitetail deer early life is driven by pure instinct, developed over eons of time (survival of the fittest!)
Yeah i think thats already been stated 1000 times atleast on this thread, dont understand the need for people to feel like they need to comment with the same information that has already been posted again and again, anyone with half a brain would have already known this information.
I can imagine the mother deer looking on and thinking the same thing that my mother thought at some point... "My kid is an idiot... I actually gave birth to an idiot"
😂😂 🤦🏿♂️ I think all moms have had this moment at least once, especially with us boys😂😂. Cuz...I mean body slamming each other off of rooftops was "fun" at one time 😂
@@blunts4sarah @YazzyWazzyWhatever The person the deer kneels in front of is a woman, not a man. You just have to watch the video they are talking about to realise that. The man saving the deer from the net and the kneeling deer are two completely different videos of two completely different animals spliced together to form some heartwarming UA-cam content that makes people go "ahhhhhh" and most importantly get millions of views, but are actually completely unrelated to one another. Is that good enough for you, Yazzy?
Deers play dead when they’re scared. He wasn’t waiting for his head to get scratched, he was waiting there fearing for his life hoping you wouldn’t eat him.
People need to stop doing this. It wasn't trying to get its head scratch. It was scared when it realized you are not safe. Stay away from wild animals.
@Randall Smerna , your statement says you have no ill intent, but what you are doing is making the animals feel safe with humans, but the next humans he encounters may not be so nice. If you are not going to give up the opportunity to have such encounters with wild animals, that says you are a very selfish person and is only thinking about what you want and you don't care about what is best for the animals. Shame on you.
I totally agree! This is so dangerous. The worst thing we as humans do is getting a wild animal used to us. I just saw a video of a neighborhood wolf. He was beautiful. Notice I said was. He became easy prey to poachers. This baby now has another scent on it. Mom can now reject the baby. Or during hunting season that deer gets close to the hunter thinking it wants to be friends. See how one act of ignorance can lead to disaster.
@@randallsmerna384 This needs to stop. I’ve read that there’s been a lot of “fawn-nappings” where well meaning idiots think fawns are lost puppies, pet them, and take them in. STOP. That baby fell and hid. Please respect Nature.
Momma deer teach fawns to lay flat to hide in grass when a predator is near. Jumped towards them like any curious child, then remembered Mom's lessons and dropped like taught. Don't approach them. Mom could be VERY protective.
imagine it from the deer. Your out eating at night because that's the safest time and avoids the summer heat. You have to travel to the food every night and you have too eat and move, Your out eating or on the way too or from food when you have to cross this never ending long black thing. As you do a bright light blinds you, which you stop moving to try and figure out what it is. When all of a sudden some douch is flying at you 50-80 mph completely silently. This thing smashes into you, hopefully killing you instantly otherwise it causes internal bleeding, broken bones, crushed organs, and you can only lay down and slowly die. I don't understand why no one has tried to research a ddivice to scare deer from cars
I never touch the little ones when they come up to me during hunting season. Several times over the years they've come right up and smelled me nose or hands. It is an incredible thing to meet nature face to face.
When I lived in the country our pool was by the woods. While sunning one day, the tiniest little fawn came up to me. He stretched his neck out, cocked his head as if trying to figure out what I was. Then bucked and pronked his way back to mom. It was the cutest, tiniest little thing frolicking his way back to mom. I didn’t try and pet it. I just enjoyed the moment. I had seen plenty of fawns over the years, not one that young though.
It was curious. It wasn't rushing up to get its head scratched, and it buckled down onto the ground in fear when it realized it was in danger. Don't touch wild animals. Leave them alone, and stop anthropomorphizing them. I live in the woods and see deer every day. I've seen them fight each other. They get up on their hind legs, and they plummet each other with those sharp hooves of theirs. You're lucky mama didn't do the same thing to you.
Well said. I've had a Doe threaten me out behind the barn over a fawn, she stomp, pawed the ground and and snorted at me so I just backed off and let her have her space. This could have ended badly.
*Just here to see all the idiots say the same comment about the deer not kneeling to get its head scratched…. As if 100 other people haven’t said it already* 🤦🤣🤡
That other video is a made up story using several unrelated clips including this one. You can find the soccer net clip and it's different people (they live in that house).
@@luismedranogand what you saw was a natural defense mechanism. When infant deer feel threatened they lay down, usually in tall grass, (but not always) to avoid being spotted. It’s definitely not asking for head scritches.
Awww his curiosity got the best of him and his instincts took over we humans don't realize that our intentions to pet isn't really good to do!! Should have backed up but not touched
I currently have a baby deer in my backyard. We think mama jumped all the fences and had her baby here, but then baby had no way to get back out. Mama has left her the last few days to go forage for food but has come back sporadically. It is so cute that I want to hug it but know to stay clear. All we have done is supply water in a 12” plant saucer. I did some internet searches because I was worried it was abandoned and it said mama will leave at times, then come back. Said to leave it alone and they know to stay where mama leaves them! Super cute to watch 🥰
Right??? We don't ever stop to consider anything from another living thing's point of view. We anthropomorphize everything with sheer ignorance. We actually cause a lot of trauma, pain, suffering and death because we think/behave this way. It's disgusting.
So glad to see that the majority of people realize that it was curious, then froze to hide itself.

It wasn’t “playing dead”, it was trying to become invisible. It’s a reflex reaction when they feel threatened. In grass or brush it works remarkably well, but isn’t all that effective on asphalt.
No it wanted snugy wugy hugy's
Exactly, it was afraid
Fawns sit in grass like that to evade predators. Somehow it mistook him for a deer and when he realized it went into survival mode, because in nature freezing then falling to the ground in front of predators is an excellent survival technique.. it's shocking that deer even exist with idiot kids like them lolz
In fact it did run up to a predator.
That was a newborn. It wasn't looking for human contact. It was just confused.
Now it's dead forsure. Mother ditched it, just how it goes.
@@wook420 wrong, so wrong.. we’ve interacted with babies before and mama doesn’t ditch em

@@pamfisher7700 ok….but it still wasn’t kneeling for a head scratch. That’s a defense mechanism in baby deer.

It kneeled down to the ground because that's what it's Instinct and it's mom taught it to do if it fears something. So at first it was probably curious and then drop down once Instinct kicked in, they do it to hide down in grass/bushes and let its camo work its magic.

This is just like a mother seeing her child off to their first day of school. Haha precious.

But why did it run over to him if it's threatened? ...i'm confused
@Katie so was the fawn, lol.
From what I've actually seen and watched on TV, fawns are about as intelligent as any infant, hahaha.
It looks a little small to be traveling through the open with mom. When they're super young, the mother will usually leave them in a thicket by the woods while she forages. Hench the freeze and drop. They lay perfectly still, and those spots are insane camouflage, believe it or not.
Maybe the mother was gonna have it hide in the general area? There's tons of hiding spots by houses. Around my area, it seems like a weekly thing where people find them under outdoor stairs, porches, bushes, ornamental grass, etc.

Perfect comment that summarizes the entire situation
It was a fear response, imagine if a bunch of black teenagers toting guns approached you and your wife and demanded they inseminate her on behalf of future scientists everywhere. You woud do exactly the same. Harmless. You are the baby deer.
It was so eager until it noticed the thing it walked up to wasn't another deer
It's because baby deer confuse the sounds humans make for the sounds deer make, we have simular vocalizations to deer, so he likely feeling hungry, approached the man for food
@@courtneyholder3400 Don't know bout the, "being hungry" part. It's mother is right there. Now on the vocalizations? I can agree on that, or more so. The sound range, have heard deer sounds/calls.

There was a first video where the guy who is filming followed the mother deer who lead him to the fawn that was stuck in a soccer net, and the guy filming helped the fawn escape the net, and now this video is when he saw those same deer later.
My guess is, the fawn was about to die from a distemper type infection, and the doe realized her only hope was to allow him or her to approach a human.
Context: The man actually saved the fawn as it got stuck in a net. The fawn ended up remembering the man and came over to thank him.
That deer was not waiting for a head scratch. When they lay flat like that, they think they are invisible. They are taught to go motionless when they sense a predator .
Where is this school where the little deer students learn all the tricks of 'deerdom'❓
In reality, the mother, upon birth, licks the newborn clean of any scent and seemingly abandons the fawn.. She returns to the fawn to nurse when the pressure in her udder gets uncomfortable.. With twins, most common, and/or triplets, more common than single births, the fawns normally are individually bedded down, which improves the chances of each fawn's survival.. EVERYTHING about whitetail deer early life is driven by pure instinct, developed over eons of time (survival of the fittest!)

imagine it from the deer. Your out eating at night because that's the safest time and avoids the summer heat. You have to travel to the food every night and you have too eat and move, Your out eating or on the way too or from food when you have to cross this never ending long black thing. As you do a bright light blinds you, which you stop moving to try and figure out what it is. When all of a sudden some douch is flying at you 50-80 mph completely silently. This thing smashes into you, hopefully killing you instantly otherwise it causes internal bleeding, broken bones, crushed organs, and you can only lay down and slowly die.

When I lived in the country our pool was by the woods. While sunning one day, the tiniest little fawn came up to me. He stretched his neck out, cocked his head as if trying to figure out what I was.
