HORSE VS. WHITETAIL-RARE VIEW LEAP, DANCE, FROLIC JEALOUS

WILD & FREE - It is extremely rare to film two different species at once in the wild. Here not only is a wild species filmed with a domestic one, but the video shows some interaction between the two.

In addition, it shows some interesting and unique whitetail behavior, including high jumps and frolicing.

The video shows wild whitetail deer jumping over high fencing and then runing and frolicing. The awesome grace, power, and intelligence of the whitetail deer is demonstrated as they leap over a high wire fence clearing the barbed wire above it. Leaps over a 5 foot high fence are shown in slow and regular motion.

After the last deer jumped the fence, she stopped, turned her head, and looked back at the horses. Then she went up the hill a ways and turned her head again to look at the horses. She looked like she wondered why the horses didn't jump over their confining fence.

The horses were watching her (the same horses are shown in more detail at the beginning of the video). The brown horse, especially, appeared to want to run with the deer.

Also shows deer dance and frolic. Deer often do quite a bit of "dancing" in the spring. It may be a rite, somewhat like humans do with Maypole dances in the spring.

** Some of the world's largest bucks live in Ohio. Some of its world champion bucks have Boone and Crockett scores of over 300 points. Ohio's Beatty Buck may be the (or among the) largest ever taken by a hunter. That title of the largest whitetail, ever, in the record books belongs to the "Missouri Monarch," a 333-7/8 buck found dead on the side of a road in 1982 near St. Louis. In second place is the legendary "Hole in the Horn," found dead in Ohio in 1940, however, many whitetail experts think that it is actually the largest set of whitetail deer antlers in history. It may be the most famous whitetail known.

The male white-tailed deer, or buck (Odocoileus virginianus - normally called the whitetail), can weigh up to around 500 pounds http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:7cLce5HsdasJ:espn.go.com/outdoors/huntin...
and the female up to 175 pounds. Males of one year or older have antlers. Young bucks with very small antlers are called button bucks. When the antlers begin to grow in the late spring, they are covered with a very vascular tissue known as velvet or moss. This drops off later. The Boone & Crockett scoring system is used to rate antlers or racks. Bucks shed their antlers at the end of breeding season (rut). Some female deer also have antlers. The piebald or white deer, a deer having more white than normal but not an albino, is very rare.

Deer have an amazing assortment of communicative signs. Approximately 100 different vocalizations have been recorded, such as tending grunts, dominant grunts, bleats, and many others. They make extensive use of sign language. The whitetail is found throughout most of the U.S., southern Canada, Central America, and in the northern portions of South America. It is a generalist, which can adapt to a wide variety of habitats, including woodland, open savanna, and even sage areas.
