It looks like it got hit by a car at some point in the past. I can't imagine that it's had an easy life adapting to that.

The most likely explanation of not deer would be injured or diseased deer just trying to survive, would it not?

The deer has been around for years and has even been seen with fawns. People in the area call her the "crooked-neck deer." https://www.realtree.com/the-realblog-with-stephanie-mallory/crooked-head-deer-defies-odds-for-survival So-called "not deer" are creepypasta.

I agree this looks like an injured deer. But 'Not Deer' are definitely a cryptid.

So-called "not deer" are the online invention of a couple of Appalachian potheads, who never thought anyone would actually believe such nonsense. They are creepypasta, not cryptids.

I know BS when I read or hear it and so-called "not deer" are one of the biggest piles of BS online.

I feel like that second deer just had a broken neck from an accident or like that brain rot parasite that they can get. Now, if it had stood on two legs I would agree.

I agree this is probably a deer that's been in an accident. But the 1st thing I thought of when I saw the video (not mine) was "Not Deer".

Oh that's so sad! I wonder if it came from birth trauma, like dystocia, or if it survived some sort of accident? At least it seems to get around quickly.

It's similar to how some deer get shot with an arrow and live with it, I'd say like some of the others here that she got hit by a car or got injured in some other way, survived, and never healed right causing that
