Texas Deputy Startled as 'Dead' Deer Bolts
x/trinity-county-texas
— 1d
A Trinity County, Texas deputy mistook a motionless deer for dead, only for the animal to spring upright and dash into the woods, prompting a loud, viral scream and laughter from the deputy and colleagues. Wildlife experts note this can happen due to tonic immobility, a freeze response that makes injured or stunned deer appear dead before reviving.

Tonic immobility is real, saw it happen with a rabbit once, scared the daylights out of me too.
