    I was up in the Olympic National Park last summer and I swear as I was pulling onto highway 101 I saw a deer walk up to the edge of the road and look both ways before it crossed. It was the most surreal shit I’ve ever seen

      I’ve seen deer do this with my driveway a few times. They’ll run full-speed all the way up to it, look both ways, walk across, then start running again. They’re way smarter than we give them credit for

          Not necessarily is Evolution. It can also be a learnt behavior. Like that time a monkey went to clean some nuts at the sea… That is animals having culture. Is way more crazy IMHO.
