To be fair on the deer, no natural predator is going to be chasing them at that kind of speed, so their instincts have no reason to be adapted to understanding objects moving that fast
Same for primates but we still jump out of the way. Stupid fuckin artiodactyla.
Maybe, but freeze is one of the reactions along with fight and flight.
Being that many deer impacts happen at night, I believe I read a long while ago, that their delay in response is because the headlights temporarily blind them since they’re in the dark and suddenly are looking right into light. That period of freezing is them waiting for their eyes to adjust so they can decide on the action to take.
I don’t blame them, ever walked when it was dark out? Headlights are blinding and I’d freeze too.
Humans when they see a vaguely humanoid shape in the dark: your upper picture
Humans when they are actively destroying the very basis of their existence, causing large, currently inhabited areas, to be uninhabitable in a few decades: this is fine meme, photoshopped to see the rain forest burning and cities flooding.
God is watching–atching-atching God is watching-atching-atching
It’s actually a very reasonable behavior if cars were normal predators: wait for the last moment before jumping out of the way so that the predator has to do a 180° and you’ve already left.
Humans when they hear a gunshot vs Humans when Great Beast Gltheth arises from the Deep Slumber 😂🤣😂😂
