Here in Ontario Canada, white tailed deer are prolific. I did see an accident between a small car and a moose once. The front of the car was heavily damaged, and the moose was mildly annoyed.
Myth busters did an episode on hitting a moose and the least destructive way. There wasn't one. They are perfectly designed to do the most damage to a car and driver as possible. We have white tailed deer that wander through the back of the garden. We have a vegetable garden with an 8 ft fence. Every once in a while a moose wanders by. I am in nova Scotia.
@nian60 that assumes you see then in time and react fast enough. Curving country road after dark means you are under their belly before you know it. Now add winter with icy conditions.
Thank you Emilia. I am a sculptor specializing in horses. Your two videos on prehistoric deer has convinced me to try sculpting extinct deer. 40 years ago I was ‘volunteered’ by my scout troop to be leader and had to choose a ‘mascot’ for our troop flag. I chose the Wapiti, inspired by its noble stature and antlers. The reaction from my scout troop, “WTF is that thing?” Sigh…..
@@connormcintosh4828Thank you. I have started documenting one of my projects on video for the first time. Just have to finish the sculpture so I can finish the short video.
A few years ago I was camping on the Snake River, Wyoming. I woke at 5 a.m. and saw a beauty of nature ; a herd of elk climbing a 75 degree cliff away from mini me. The caboose was a giant male protecting his herd.
I’ve been subbed for a long time. Since like 10k subscribers and I was along for the ride when you guys got a huge push during the pandemic, I see now that you’re not getting that same kind of views now BUT, you’re commitment to the content you create has always remained the same and I absolutely love it. You’re still one of my very favorite channels on all the internet and I absolutely love how the channel has progressed. I don’t know what you guys do in your lives outside of TH-cam but I always fear that you guys are going to graduate or move onto a career off platform and disappear. if that happens, you guys should totally hand off the channel to some buddies or colleagues. I don’t know. Just a fan piping in. Wish you all the best. Love the channel, AND THE NEW ONE!
Prehistoric deer are uniquely fascinating to me because deer feel uniquely divinely majestic, at least the very large bucks, and the sight of a giant extinct deer must have been somewhat awe-inspiring to our ancestors. I know it's kinda ocerly romantic to think this way, but just can't help it, ya know.
I think it could be fun to see video discussing non-deer with deer-like forms; maybe even a video on all the species that evolved the deer body plan at some point.
It should be noted that Irish elk lasted as recently as 8,000 years ago in much of Central Asia and that Cervalces was actually better-adapted to warmer, wetter current climatic conditions than glacials which is indicative of why they actually went extinct
I love the lighthearted shade thrown at Owen. 🤣 Another brilliant video! There's so much nuance and uniqueness in deer that can be overlooked without an enquiring eye.
Deer are still pretty weird - I used to walk my dogs in woods in Devon and regularly got followed - stalked! - by a female deer who totally ignored my dogs (small ones) to keep me company. We once made the other jump when we each came round a large tree and met face to face.
I'd wager you could find some if you dig through enough permafrost. I know for a fact that at least mammoth gathered this way has been "sampled" and was apparently still edible. Tho it probably didn't taste all that great and I'd stay way clear of it xD
I'm certain many ancient humans would agree considering that many, if not most, of the species that went extinct at the end of the Pleistocene were likely pressured by human hunting after climatic changes alone already would've bottlenecked their population sizes and diversity.
@0:12 Why are their behinds colored brightly? Is it to be able to follow each other while escaping predators? Or were they designed to be easily spotted by predators? Or for mating purposes?
It’s a bit of an intimidation sign to predators, when they flip up their tails and bounce away with that big white spot it’s saying “I’m so healthy you shouldn’t even bother chasing me”. The behavior is called stotting
Not as large as Wapiti but also a large animal in North America is the Mule Deer. Distinctive for its large mule/donkey like ears. Drop down a size category and White Tail and Black Tail deer species can get quite large but do vary depending on native range. The same species can be bigger in mountainous or heavily forrested areas but comparritively small in other places like Alabama for example
Narrowly escaped being gored by a MASSIVE moose. I cant even begin to describe the terror and fear Coming across such a huge and aggressive animal. I'm glad to be alive
@romanlandon6561 - I was on an island in Glacier Bay National Park when a lot of noise indicated a running large animal. I ran down the beach, and a bull moose burst out onto the beach a few meters away. Thankfully it moved away at high speed. Then I thought about what might spook a bull moose. I packed up and got into my boat as soon as possible.
I'm gonna be honest here . I watch videos on paleontology as a Brain wash from the real life insanity that is happening into our world. It's good to relax and I appreciate what you guys do . These videos and the study as a whole deserves much more public respect and support
A video on deer-looking non-deers sounds awesome. Might I also suggest a video on things that are not what their name suggests - like the king cobra is not a "true" cobra, the mountain goat is not a "true" goat, electric eels are not "true" eels, mantis shrimp are neither mantis nor shrimp, etc.
I love it when 7DOS teases me with more random deer knowledge. MORE (Also I've started seeing red deer and fallow deer in my dreams now, is that normal?}
I find deer fascinating as a group, and this was a good addition to the knowledge base. (I must admit, almost shamefacedly, to being just as fascinated with the presenter...she is SO cute and smart and articulate! Almost makes me want to return to Blighty to look her up, just for the fun of it. You may now proceed to call me the biggest creep on the planet...)
Dear, I would really like to watch a video about deer that are not really deer, they just look like deer, but they are just as dear as real deer, and I almost forgot... Red deer 😈😈😈😂😂😂
This video kind of confirms my suspicions. Hypothesizing that the huge headcrests of some pterosaur species may have helped them fly is pretty much like saying these deer species' antlers helped them navigate through the woods.
So there I was flying in a EF-111 in New Mexico. We were at 300 feet above the ground and climbing up what is called the caprock. A 300 foot many miles long uplift. My pilot rolled left as we approached which put me facing downward. There it was a massive Elk climbing the caprock right underneath us.
Red deer, fallow deer. Funny thing is we don’t have them here in the US, so all these size comparisons are over my head. In the US we don’t use metric deer, we use white tale and mule deer.
Prehistoric wildlife was like nature’s experimental phase-giant deer, armored beasts, and more. Ever wondered what made these creatures so unique? Let’s dive in!
Haha I was so confused when she was saying wapiti how she was! I’ve always heard it pronounced Whap-ity or wap-paty. That and her comparisons to red deer. My dumb self is going “cool, that’s awesome…. I don’t know how big those usually are…”
@ I do like how she clarified it at the end though where she’s saying like “hey there’s too many things called “elk” so we’re just gonna run with their other names.”

Had no problem figuring out what she was referring to. As a book addict since childhood and grew up in a poor small town in the middle of nowhere there is a massive amount of my vocab that comes from just reading. I've had some really creative pronunciations over the years cause not realizing something was say a French word.
@@shawnwalker4936she clarified it at the end? I haven't made it there yet I was so confused I had to find out what she was talking about. The picture gave me a clue, but then I thought I was crazy. I've never heard it called anything but Elk.
A video of animals that look like deer but aren't deer would be most welcome. I wonder if my favorite animal, the pronghorn, will be considered to look like a deer but isn't. I know that it is commonly called "antelope" even it they aren't. I guess antelope in general look like deer but aren't.
@@RaithGyaron, the pronghorn has more similarities to the giraffes and okapis than with deer, hence the reason why the pronghorn of the monotypic family Antilocapridae is also a member of the superfamily Giraffoidea, the most basal of the three extant superfamilies of pecorans.

Which is why car brands in Sweden go through a "moose test" = can it swerve fast enough and avoid a moose?

Deer are already exciting when normal-sized. So when they are giant, I get more of them. 🥰

I know it's kinda ocerly romantic to think this way, but just can't help it, ya know.
They absolutely were inspiring - they're in SO much cave art!
I wouldn’t be shocked if the Ben G Thomas team now make a video explaining how everything will evolve into deer….
Ive already evolved into someones dear. I can confirm! Lol
I think it could be fun to see video discussing non-deer with deer-like forms; maybe even a video on all the species that evolved the deer body plan at some point.
Emilia, yes, impostor deer, dear. Please.
I love having moved to the Appalachians from So-Cal. I see deer all the time in the parks when I walk my dog.
I just love it when you go off on a tangent, Emelia !!! You are hilarious !!! 😁❤👍👌
She's really gotten more comfortable in front of the camera over the years. I remember when she started she was a bit nervous.

Definitely a yes on the Not-deer deer video! As long as you say "red deer" and "fallow deer" 30 more times
Oh dear a 3rd dear episode? Fun to hear about dear imposters 😃✌️❤️🇬🇧

Yes deer-iod animals need their own episode. Great work guys!
I can't even imagine the work that went into this video
There's some big fat knobs on a few of those antlers.
Love the little breakdown bc of nomenclature. As a former secondary biology teacher, it was highly relatable.
Venison from a giant extinct deer would be awesome. I probably shouldn't watch this while hungry

If you see a deer with glowing horns, remember to click taunt so it doesn't use geomancy
I thought it would only appear when Dementors arrived and your name is Harry...
You should talk more about the irish elk. Or red deer. Or fallow deer.
I have no idea why but I love the giant prehistoric deer species.
