You probably think that deer are harmless,
but many of them are carrying something that
is causing them to waste away like Zombies.
The medical community is not sure how this
is being spread yet.
All they know is that it creates holes in
the brain, and that one day it might somehow
spread to us.

A YouTuber named Piso Mojado records this
zombie deer as it mindlessly spins around
in circles at a public parking lot in the
middle of the day.
After a while it briefly stops and has what
could be considered a brief moment of clarity
. . .
But then it falls over, gets up and resumes
its frantic pacing.
It runs in a half circle and heads towards
the camera, but then it falls again and starts
flailing wildly on the ground instead.
The zombie deer seems dazed when it gets up
a third time, like something has permanently
changed in its mind.
It calmly stumbles forward with a blank look
in its eyes and drool falling from its open
mouth.
Watching this video, it’s hard to tell if
this deer has CWD, or rabies like the uploader
claims.
The two share many common symptoms such as
drooling, disorientation and aggression, so
we may never know for sure.
Either way, this man is lucky this deer decided
to run away at the last moment instead of
continuing its slow and steady charge in his
direction.

This Snapchat video was taken at a school
in Estherville, Iowa.
You can see a deer standing outside looking
very confused before it suddenly tries to
get in without warning.
Clearly the zombie deer wants to get inside
however it can, searching around the sides
of the glass for an opening before giving
up and resuming its confused vegetative state.
Those inside are lucky that this deer is too
small to break the glass.
If this was a full grown deer running at them,
things could have been much different.
Hopefully they contacted animal control and
thoroughly disinfected this door before letting
anyone touch it.

A Facebook user sees this mutant deer outside
of his house in the middle of the night and
immediately begins recording.
The deer is covered in strange growths and
appears to have lost all fear of humans.
One of his friends gets close and tries to
feed the deer by hand, which I think is a
bad idea because CWD could possibly be spread
through saliva for all we know.
The deer appears to be curious and actually
considers eating from his hand before deciding
to feast on the grass instead.
Grass is not its preferred food choice, so
I think this deer might be covered in growths
and starving, but not necessarily has CWD.
I have also never seen a deer with CWD eat
before.
That still doesn’t explain why it comes
alarmingly close to both of them though, so
maybe this deer does have CWD after all.

A mother deer aimlessly walks in circles while
its young graze nearby.
You can tell that one of her fawn senses that
something is deeply wrong with its mother
at the one-minute twenty-three second mark,
but it can’t tell exactly what the problem
is.
Judging from the deer’s high steps in low
grass, it seems to have some sort of neurological
problem, most likely CWD.
According to the uploader, the mother deer
wandered over to a nearby creek and fell into
the water.
She was unable to lift her neck out of the
shallow water and passed away.
They have been leaving some corn for the fawn
to survive on.
Hopefully they do not get CWD as well.

This old VHS video marks one of the earliest
documented cases of CWD amongst the deer population.
Notice how these signs could easily be mistaken
for rabies or something similar.
This deer appears to be in the late stages
of CWD, at which point it becomes too incapacitated
to walk in circles.
Instead, they stand with their legs spread
very far apart and stare without blinking.
This poor animal appears to be completely
vacant and not panicking like many of the
others on this list.
It’s the end of a long journey.
Its brain is likely too far gone to feel any
discomfort at all.

Steve Beltran sees an infected deer on his
street and begins recording this brief 10-second
video as proof.
The poor deer looks to be in a total panic
as it spins in place, completely oblivious
to Steve and his camera.
Maybe it’s just me, but Steve seems to be
standing way too close here.
The zombie deer could accidentally stumble
over and fall on him.
All I’m saying is I definitely wouldn’t
want to come into close physical contact with
anything that’s been infected, especially
with CWD.

A YouTuber named jahguy7 is hanging out at
a creek when a mangy lone deer comes wandering
up to them.
I can’t tell for sure, but I think it makes
two strange noises that I have never come
from a deer before.
The deer calmly walks past them without any
fear and goes to the river but does not drink.
Eventually it turns towards him and gives
him a cold, blank stare.
There seems to be no life or thought behind
its eyes as it holds him in its gaze.
Long strands of drool hang from its lips,
indicating possible CWD.
Obviously this creature is thirsty, but at
the same time it lacks the cognitive facilities
needed to take a drink.
CWD has left it just smart enough to find
a water source, yet too far gone to quench
its thirst.
Hopefully this was reported to animal wildlife
control so they could help the deer.

This deer is being tested for CWD by the Wyoming
Game and Fish Department.
Researchers take tissue and fluid samples,
including removing its tonsils.
By the end of it all, they are practically
drenched in potentially hazardous materials.
Their goal is to measure the effects of CWD
within the deer population, but some commenters
believe these researchers are going to be
the first ones to get contaminated themselves.
Here you can see them taking a sample without
wearing gloves, and their hands are stained
in red.
I do think they at least should use gloves,
but then again, these are trained professionals
and I guess they are not required to do so
by law.
I also don’t see any cuts on their hands,
so I guess they could be fine . . . theoretically
speaking, at least.
Still, considering we don’t know how CWD
is spread, it seems like a big gamble to take.
Let me know if you think this could be a problem
or not for the spread of invasive contagions.

This is young fawn has contracted an illness
that is most likely CWD.
It alternates between standing paralyzed in
place and spinning in circles, its neck rotating
wildly all the while.
At times it looks like its neck is going to
snap, like here for instance.
Maybe it is even trying to put itself out
of its own misery.
One thing that’s strange is that this deer
seems to prefer standing in areas with sunlight.
Whether or not this sunlight-seeking behavior
is based on instinct or actually provides
some sense of relief is hard to tell for sure.

This strange deer keeps repeatedly wandering
into the yard of a YouTuber named freetickeys.
It seems to be without a herd, so at first
freetickeys suspects that it could be somebody’s
pet, which is not all that uncommon of an
occurrence where he lives in Kentucky.
After a minute or so, it becomes evident that
this deer is sick with something quite serious.
Watch here and you’ll see the deer looks
disoriented enough to walk up to another neighbor’s
house.
I have little doubt that it would have wandered
straight through the front door if it was
open, potentially contaminating the entire
inside.
The YouTuber says that he called the local
wildlife authorities and reported the deer
shortly after recording this two-minute video.
I think he keeps a respectful distance for
the most part and appears to be safe from
any potential contamination.
As for the deer, it sadly had to be put down
by government officials after it kept walking
onto the nearby Route 8 Highway.

This deer looks like it could be fine except
it’s walking in circles with its tongue
hanging out without a clue of its surroundings,
a telltale sign of CWD.
The person recording thinks this could be
the work of hunters, but I disagree.
Watch this part and tell me what you think
really happened.
The 
deer circles in place for well over a minute
and then silently walks out to a nearby field.
The way it is walking here makes me think
that this is the result of something to do
with the brain.
The animal is so out of it that it looks ready
to walk through the front door of a nearby
home.
Perhaps this exact scenario is precisely how
it will one day spread to humans.
I really hope this incident was reported to
the proper wildlife agency for further investigation.
2.
This Michigan research station keeps track
of the local deer population.
The only way to check for CWD is to look at
the brain, so this means . . .
Basically, there are buildings full of frozen
deer heads sitting on display, waiting to
be tested.
Notice how the workers are not fully-covered
from head to toe biohazard gear.
I’m not an expert on CWD by any means, but
I would feel a lot better about the situation
if they were wearing gear that covers their
entire head.
Seeing all that exposed skin while working
around potentially infected deer heads seems
like the perfect opportunity for it to spread
to humans.
Let me know if you agree or if I am just overreacting.

This deer appears to have a massive growth
that has taken over the entire right side
of its head.
I was thinking that this could even possibly
be exposed brain, but I doubt it would still
be alive in that were truly the case.
Either way, the deer appears to be very much
alert and not in a vegetative state, which
suggests that this is just a growth.
But then again, maybe it’s going through
the early stages of CWD and still has some
brain function.
The quiet wild animal seems to be completely
unafraid of the camera and makes no attempt
to get away.
Based on its lack of a reaction, I would say
this specimen is halfway through becoming
an actual zombie deer.
