Beach-goers in coastal Delaware were perplexed when a deer came onto the beach and jumped in and out of the water. (Photo is of a different deer found (and rescued) 1 mile off shore.)Wildlife experts have seen it before.
The Baltimore Sun reports:
"That's the message from authorities at Delaware's beaches after a white-tail was seen frolicking in the surf at Rehoboth Beach on Memorial Day weekend.Paul Faircloth, park superintendent at Cape Henlopen State Park, says deer are actually good swimmers, although they rarely venture into salt water. Joe Rogerson, the deer biologist with the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, notes that deer have hollow hair, making them buoyant in the water." See full article.
