‘So big’: Stomper caught off guard by deer roaming in Woodlands
A delivery driver was surprised to see a huge deer roaming in Woodlands on April 2.
Stomper Wandi said the sighting occurred at around 6.30pm while he was working.
“I was inside the company’s vehicle delivering goods when I spotted the deer,” he said.
Caught off guard by the unexpected sight, Wandi could not recall the exact location within Woodlands.
“I was shocked to see a deer this big,” he added with a laugh. He also wondered how the animal ended up in the area, suggesting it could have “escaped” from somewhere.
Wandi shared a video of the deer appearing to graze on a grass patch. It looks up calmly, seemingly undisturbed by the traffic, before looking back down at the grass.
Deer sightings in Singapore are not unheard of.
In a previous report, Stomp highlighted a Jan 21 incident involving an injured Sambar deer found trapped in Chestnut Nature Park. The animal later died after a suspected vehicular accident.
Members of the public who encounter wildlife are advised to keep a safe distance and avoid approaching or provoking the animal.
For urgent animal-related matters, the public can call the National Parks Board’s Animal Response Centre at 1800 476 1600.
