Free Stress Test 📽 by @cheeeezeee Deer, suspected to have CWD tosses itself through a window Chronic Wasting Disease is a progressive, fatal neurological disorder that afflicts deer, elk, moose, and related species, much like mad cow disease does in cattle. It stems from misfolded proteins called prions, which cause brain damage along with a cascade of other symptoms. This disease is notorious for its long incubation period; symptoms like drastic weight loss, stumbling, lack of coordination, and a strange lack of fear can take over a year to manifest after infection. But why would a deer with CWD exhibit such extreme behavior as breaking through a window? The answer lies in the disease's impact on the brain, leading to severe disorientation and confusion. Deer, unable to comprehend glass and reflections as humans do, could perceive a window as an open space or see their reflection as another animal, leading to a panicked, harmful response. In its advanced stages, CWD drastically alters deer behavior and motor control. This incident illustrates the disease's devastating effect on wildlife, altering not just their physical state but how they interact with their environment. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nature Is Metal is powered by you!

Looks like he tried to do it a few times already, judging by the blood on the window at the beginning

I’m a taxidermist + my dogs are fed a prey model raw diet. As a result, my local Fish and Wildlife Department has me on speed dial so that any time a deer or elk is hit or poached or dies on county property, I can collect it to save taxpayer dollars in disposal fees. I once got a call about a deer who had, rather inexplicably, run headlong into the broad side of a 100-year-old barn at Mach F*ck and dropped dead on the spot. We had a state biologist run some tests cuz it was such an unusual death that we were concerned about CWD or other diseases that cause neurological damage. He came back clear, and was otherwise perfectly healthy. Bear we could figure is he was being chased by dogs or something and crashed into the barn while trying to escape. Point being: Deer do some pretty weird stuff sometimes when they’re in a panic, and it’s not always because there’s anything wrong with them aside from the simple fact that they are deer. 😂
