At the end of a winter when most mammals hibernate or have more difficulty feeding, the sugar-laden buds that grow here and there represent a delicacy for the animals that inhabit our forests. Ingested in large quantities, these buds then make them totally drunk.
Totally disoriented, the roe deer can then adopt a more aggressive behavior that contrasts with its usually fearful and placid character. Last year, one of them was lost in the city center of Vernon in the Eure.
