When people hear the word deer, what comes to mind would probably be Bambi, from the Disney cartoon. They’re often described as graceful, playful, and friendly. Deer rarely attack humans, but they are still wild animals.

In the United States, statistics show that deer are the deadliest animals. They even cause more deaths than sharks. On average, around 120 Americans are killed annually by deer, though most of the deaths are due to vehicular accidents when deer run into or in front of cars (that certainly doesn’t count as an attack).
