White Tailed Deer.

When a white-tailed deer raises its tail, it is signaling a warning. This signals a warning of possible danger to other deer that be nearby.

This is called flagging. It exposes the white fur of its tail and backside. This alerts others in its herd of danger

The deer also wags its tail from side to side while flaggingFlagging also helps other members of the herd locate each otherA startled deer skip any or all of the preliminary signals, but it almost always displays the flaglike tail as it runs away

  1. I didn’t know this about the white tail “flagging” – very interesting Sandra. I did sneak a peek at Mom and Baby playing yesterday, but just watched it again. They look so lively and playful. They are truly beautiful animals.

  2. I see the embed didn’t work. Your link goes to YT just fine, tho…

    No worries. Just an obervation. WP just piles on unnecessary “functions” instead of streamlining things. It’s why the Reader in a browser is all messed up. And, sometimes, the Jetpack app is messed up. More “features” added, means more things break. Aggravating…

    1. Yep, I thought I had it. But finally got to my page and saw it did not work. I will just put the link to you tube from now on. Thanks for trying to help though. ☺️
