French police warn motorists to be on lookout for ‘drunk’ deer

Police in France are warning rural drivers to be on the lookout for “drunk” deer.

In a video posted by the Saône et Loire police on Facebook, an animal runs in circles, jumps, and falls onto the ground.

The French police explained that, during summer, some animals may consume buds, fermented fruits, or decaying plants, which could be the reason for the “unpredictable” behaviour.

They issued a warning to be extra vigilant while driving through wooded areas to avoid any accidents.
