Feeding a Friendly Muntjac Deer

Occurred on March 13, 2024 / Centre Parcs Elveden Forest, UK

: "My partners family and I went on a trip early march around my birthday week to Centre Parcs in Elveden where we spotted this Muntjac deer in the garden, hidden in a little den that someone had made. At first, I assumed the deer was injured/ill, however, after giving it some apples, grapes, and biscuits by hand and a couple bowls of water, it stood up and I could see that its hooves were over grown and it was using a lot of energy to walk. After realizing it could walk away at any point, I thought that must’ve meant it allowed me to give it food from my hand."
