Rescued Deer Finds Comfort in Family's Living Room

A deer named Timmi has chosen a family's home in Schleswig-Holstein as its nightly refuge after being raised by a former farmer.

Timmi, a deer raised by a woman in Dithmarschen, Schleswig-Holstein, prefers to sleep in her living room despite attempts to reintroduce him to the wild.
The woman, a former farmer, took in Timmi as a fawn after his mother died in a car accident in 2022.
Timmi is equipped with a transponder to ensure his safety and allow him to roam freely during the day while returning to the house at night.
Wildlife experts caution against raising wild animals like Timmi in domestic settings, emphasizing the need for professional care and group rearing.
The family's open-door policy allows Timmi to choose his interactions, highlighting his unique bond with the caregiver while maintaining a cautious demeanor towards strangers.
