@naturaeanimals: In Maryland’s marshes, these spotted deer navigate waterways using their legs. In deep water, buoyancy helps keep the body afloat while paddling moves it forward. The surprising limit is not simply whether the deer can swim: studies found they use places farther from cover less often. What happens to the appeal of a crossing when the nearest shelter is farther away? #SikaDeer #Deer #WetlandWildlife #NatureLovers #WildlifeConservation
