Deer thinks it’s a sheep
The UK's National Trust Charity explains:
National Trust shepherd Andrew Capell discovered the deer while counting his flock at Dunwich Heath in Suffolk recently. The little deer appears to have become separated from his herd before attaching himself to the first group of animals he came across. He has been living, eating and sleeping with his 100 new friends for about two weeks now and shows no sign of leaving. The sheep do not seem to mind their new guest and have adopted him into the flock.

Awww it so cute! The sheep just accepted him too. I hope some animal rights group does not screw it up for the little guy, he is happy where he's at.

It is cute. He's trying to blend in, which will be a bit tough when he gets three times as big as he is now.

I think there was sonmething in NoTW last July about the opposite situation - a ram (male sheep) taking over a herd of deer at a Chinese zoo, mating with the does, including his one particular favorite.
