“Park scientists sometimes deploy remote cameras as a tool to study wildlife behavior that would otherwise be difficult or unsafe to obtain. Videos demonstrate common behaviors as well as behaviors we don’t yet understand. For example, we can’t explain the deer’s behavior in this video, but it allows us to be curious about it and potentially pursue the question of “Why is this deer behaving that way?”

Have you ever seen a deer bug out like a dog when you open the door after a long day at work? Wildlife officials at Yellowstone National Park don’t really have an explanation by this deer’s behavior that was caught on trail cam in a remote corner of the park, any ideas?
