Reminds me, 5 years ago I saw deer in central Stockholm! Apparently
they'd been swimming from some place and somehow appeared in the middle
of the city.

deer
 Missoula is a tenth the size of Stockholm and is surrounded by wild lands
but the deer are sort of mobile lawn ornaments. I've seen them look both
ways before crossing a street which is more than some of the homeless do.
 

Don't you get deer everywhere? You get them in the outskirts of London, certainly just outside the M25 (the London ring road). They seem wild to me. I've never seen them look before crossing the road, and I have actually collided with one when driving. I was lucky and managed to brake, but I know a lot of people who have seriously damaged their cars
