Some Deer Thoughts

Our visit to estes park and the narrow escape from a deer running over us made me curious to gather some information about deers. This page is rather interesting. http://www.swmnv.com/deer_facts.htm

In malayalam, deer("maan") is synonymous to a totally harmless being. (as in "Paavam Maan"). Well, it looks to me that the real picture is much different.

* Deer establish a territory and will not leave it.

* Deer are known to starve rather than leave their domain.
"Valiya vaasikkaranaa. Enne konnalum njan povilla" :D.

As per the page above, deer cause heavy damage to crops, vehicles, people, which amounts to more than 100 million US dollars annually !!!.

Next time I compare someone to a deer, I would rather have these in my mind :D.

I'm ready for my next shot

This is taken from Estes park, Colorado. This green piece of land is a golf course ( as is obvious from the photo) and a habitat for deer.
