| The footage, published on Thursday on Russian social media, shows an unusual encounter in the city of Korolyov, located near the Russian capital. A deer was shown strolling carefully towards car traffic before crossing over to the sidewalk and making its way deep into a residential area. The excited cameraman filming the deer from inside a car can be heard repeatedly exclaiming the Russian version of "I'll be damned!" as his vehicle passes by. The encounter reportedly happened on Wednesday morning. | The footage, published on Thursday on Russian social media, shows an unusual encounter in the city of Korolyov, located near the Russian capital.

| Gorky Street, where the deer was spotted, is about 1.5 km from the border of the Losiny Ostrov, so imagining a stray deer wandering off to make a small traffic disruption is hardly a stretch. Deer, moose and boars are regularly spotted in the area and occasionally get caught on camera. | Gorky Street, where the deer was spotted, is about 1.5 km from the border of the Losiny Ostrov, so imagining a stray deer wandering off to make a small traffic disruption is hardly a stretch.

| Earlier this week, a brown bear was filmed chasing a man down the street of a Western Siberian city. She was reportedly not a stray however, but a pet who’d managed to escape her cage, and went on to scare the residents of Nizhnevartovsk a little bit. | Earlier this week, a brown bear was filmed chasing a man down the street of a Western Siberian city.
