Oh, those silly males---even in the animal kingdom they do dumb things-LOL!
ReplyDelete@ Sue: yes, hence my internal giggle when people contrast people vs. animals. Pretty sure we're all in the same kingdom. =) It's cute, and it's all good for their particular blend of DNA.
ReplyDeleteI just love how much of a scene stealer a doe is when males are on stage. Talk about pulling focus! And all she does is walk. =)
bucks will be bucks, eh? and that is hysterical how they stop grappling just long enough to watch the doe walk by...whistling i'm sure! where are their hard hats? haha LOVE the fall colors! my favorite time of year...that and winter! happy autumn!
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious. How can we not anthropomorphise with behaviour like that?!
