why a deer freezes in the headlights?
In: Biology
The deer are literally blinded. They’re not evolved to deal with bright lights coming at them at night. There is no depth perception at night, especially for a deer Whos eyes are on the side of its head. So the deer can’t see the car, only the blinding lights, and doesn’t actually know for sure the lights are coming towards him. Next, they can’t comprehend the high speed. They aren’t used to seeing any animal run 60-80 miles per hr.
