Dec. 23 (UPI) — The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources shared a video of some unusual flying deer — but the kiddies can stand down. These critters might be airborne, but they have nothing to do with Santa or the North Pole.
“These aren’t Santa’s flying reindeer!,” the playful post says.
“Each winter, our biologists capture and place GPS collars on approximately 1,200 deer throughout the state.”
The DWR said the deer are brought by helicopter to a staging area for health assessments before being returned to their habitats.
