Deer invades basement of Mich. home

Posted on December 12th, 2008 by Wildlife Luver, under Deer.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. (AP) — When Jody Fabry descended the basement stairs to her seasonal home and saw broken glass on the floor, then spied what caused the mess, she didn’t know who was more frightened — her, or the deer that was the culprit.

A young doe apparently got into the basement through a window, then couldn’t get out. Fabry called officers to her home, but it was more difficult than it looked to remove the animal.

Officers eventually ended up chasing it around the basement until it jumped back out the way it came, then bounded off.

The deer, which Fabry guessed had been in the unoccupied home for a day, appeared to be unhurt.

A Deer With One horn: Unicorn?

Posted on December 4th, 2008 by Wildlife Luver, under Deer.

In the Center of Natural Sciences, Prato, in Italy an unique Roe deer was bred one year before and named as- “UNICORN“. A deer with one horn is a fantasy. Now this fantasy becomes reality told Gilberto Tozzi, director of this institute.

A young deer with a single horn in the center of its head is drawing hundreds of visitors to the nature reserve in Tuscany, Italy.

Although it is first time in captivity, such anomalies among deer may have inspired the myth of the unicorn.

Generally the horn would be on one side rather than being at the center. This is a unique case among deers. The central position of the horn may be due some accident at the early stages of this animal. And also This anomaly may be due to genetic flaw because his twins has two horns.

Unicorn, a horse-like creature with magical powers, has been noticed in stories and legends throughout history, from ancient and modern adventures of Harry Potter. The myth of unicorn is also centered towards other mammals like NARWHAL, a whale with a long, spiraling tusk.

May be in some other day, the horn in the center of the deer may get mutated to form a spiralling tusk at the center of head. Who knows? It’s all science…
