ghostsofevolution's video: Fawn twins hear mom s alert but don t see me 12 feet away

After this astonishing encounter with deer twins in Ludington Michigan, I found online that since deer evolved to see at dawn and dusk, they have trouble seeing an absolutely still object right in front of them during the day. Here you will notice that I positioned myself to capture the twins chasing each other in playful circles out in the field — only to have them decide to rest by coming into the shady mowed lawn area, right where I am standing. I move only slightly to adjust my camera when they are looking away from me. They do hear the click when my camera finishes zooming a bit. But they really hear mom! Mom is hidden off to my right. Watch their muscles twitch whenever mom gives the alert sound. Then when her alerts get intense, they finally move toward her; grasp the correct direction to run and head on out — with mom huffing and displaying her running skills after them.
