DEER - NOT JUST FIGHTING BUT ESTABLISHING RANK AND ACCESS TO FEMALES - Nature's way of ensuring only the best genes get passed on.

Is it Dancer and Prancer? Two deer appear to be pulling off well-timed dance moves while playfully rutting in Richmond Park.

  • Standing tall on their hind legs, the two animals appear to be pulling off well-timed dance moves
  • Deer were actually playfully rutting, which is when stags lock antlers to compete for mating rights
  • Keen photographer Bartek Olszewski, 32, snapped the spectacular scene in Richmond Park, London
  • Hunters interfere with nature by shooting the largest and strongest animals, thereby weakening the species in the long run. (Blogger)

    These two deer seemed to be moving in perfectly in time with each other as though ballroom music was playing while they swayed


    Rutting, which usually occurs in October and early November, is when stags lock antlers to compete for mating rights with the females

    Bartek says what fascinates him most is to 'find deer and enjoying the natural behavior without noticing my presence'

    The photographer said that wildlife can be unpredictable and can surprise you at any time - so you have to be ready
