Deer
Deers are elegant and skittish. They run at the sight of a human and tend to keep to themselves. They don’t have an aggressive bone in their body. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean they’re not some of the most dangerous animals in the world. They’re responsible for more than 100 human deaths every year due to car accidents. Even though these deer don’t purposefully and viciously attack you, they’re still dangerous. If you’ve ever seen a deer at night, you’ll notice they freeze in the middle of the road.

That’s where the term “like a deer caught in headlights.” There’s a scientific reason behind it, and it’s because photoreceptors in their retinas make them freeze when they look directly at a car. They become so startled, that they freeze. If you’ve ever so been scared for your life that you’ve frozen in your tracks, then you can relate to the deer. Sadly, because of this, people have to pay for it. If you see a deer jump in front of your car, the best thing to do is to honk and brake. Never swerve into the other lane. If another car is coming from the other direction, this will cause a huge accident. If you’re driving at night through mountainous roads, be especially careful (Far and Wide).
