[@DoubleDogDare54]

Simple explanation for the deer's behavior - The deer is a doe. She probably has a fawn hidden in the area. The screaming a rabbit makes when it is frightened sounds very similar to the bleating a young fawn does when it is attacked or frightened. The doe heard the rabbit, assumed it was her fawn under attack, came to defend it and didn't care that it was a rabbit. The doe was triggered and went for the cause of the attack - the hawk. The rabbit escaped, the hawk got stomped, the fawn was still safely hidden and the doe turns into a YT star. Everyone wins except the hawk.

[@jeannie1renee2]

I just had the same thought after listening to it again. The other thing that was odd, though, was her chasing the other deer away.

​@@Tyler-8898Not necessarily. First, neither of those are clinical terms. They're more criminology based terms. The clinical analogue is antisocial personality disorder. But even in terms of the differentiation, I'd lean sociopath. Psychopaths don't feel emotions or create relationships. So insofar as the deer appears to be aiding another, that seems more consistent with sociopathy than psychopathy. Ultimately, most people use them interchangeably. I worked as a therapist for 17 years before moving over into forensic work, so I'm familiar with the clinical and forensic side of things, but I put more stock in clinical terminology than criminology based differentiations.

Indeed

[@georgehunter2813]

It's more than simple instinctive protection behavior extended to the rabbit. The deer's instinct is only the behavioral basis for rescuing the rabbit. We've all seen the Australian woman rescue a fire singed koala give it water, and wrap it in a towel. The woman is being no more just instinctive than the deer. The woman knows what she was doing, and so does the deer. The deer's basic protective instinct gives the deer the capacity to understand and act against the hawk.

[@austinmabry8462]

Go listen to fawn in distress calls, and rabbit in distress calls. They're very similar. The deer most likely heard the distress call and thought it was her fawn. Once she was in the fight, she was reticent to get out of it until she was sure the hawk was dead. You can see in the behavior that she was concerned that if she let up, the hawk would come back and attack. My guess is she wanted to make sure that thing was good and dead, so it couldn't come back and attack her, or the fawn she initially thought she was defending in the first place.
