> While the Northern European moose is smaller than the North American, we still treat it with a lot of respect if we ever come across them in nature. Smaller deers are dangerous and you need to be careful with them. In Spain the largest deers are red deers (males over 200kg are very rare) and there are a few cases of people killed by them. Even small females are dangerous enough to kill healthy large man. Even roe deers, which are quite small (maybe 30kg a larger male), can cause serious injuries because they are crazy agile and fast and their antlers are quite sharp. Here's a video of a man trying to feed one: https://www.club-caza.com/files/videos/Ataque-de-corzo-a-per... Deers may not look dangerous because they are herbivorous and cute, but they are. |

Good advice, and not something most people think about. As a general rule, all wild animals should be treated as dangerous and not cute and harmless. Even a baby squirrel will scratch the shit out of you. Cute little bunnies? Yeah, watch what happens when they're cornered and think they nothing left to lose. Experience says birds might be the one exception, though I've never tried to get close to an eagle. :-)
If it has claws, teeth, and doesn't live with me in my house, I treat it with a respectful distance until I have reason to believe otherwise, no matter how cute it might be.
