When a Deer Encountered a Flying Squirrel

Have you ever gone on a daytime hike and wondered why you hardly ever come across any deer? Well, it’s because they’re crepuscular animals, which means they’re most active during the twilight hours of the day. But did you know that sometimes they can still get caught off guard? Take this unsuspecting white-tailed deer, for example.

Just as it was going about its business, a flying squirrel, a typically nocturnal species, appeared seemingly ready to pounce. A bold move indeed! Perhaps the squirrel was hoping to spook the fawn and claim those fresh-looking apples at its feet all for itself.
