You’re most likely to come across ‘drunk’ animals in spring.
Spring break isn’t just for people: Every year animals get in on the fun, and sometimes, we catch glimpses of it on social media.
The latest installment comes from eastern France, where a deer was recently seen twirling, wobbling, and falling over.
The viral video, which was shared on Facebook by enforcement officials last week, said the deer had likely consumed fermented fruit and was exhibiting signs of intoxication.
Officials took the opportunity to remind the public to be mindful of drunken animals this time of year.
“We slow down, we anticipate, we avoid car accidents, and we double the vigilance in a wooded area,” reads part of the Facebook post caption.
“If Bambi overdoes it on forest aperitif[s], it might not be the time to drive like you own the road, no?”
