Bondi Junction and its surrounding ‘burbs are not particularly known for their wild natural environments – they’re pretty damn urbanised. Which is why cops are baffled as to how someone managed to run over a fucking deer during peak hour traffic last night.

Yeah, this isn’t Wollongong, where so many deer wander out of the National Park that it has long ceased to be a joke. It’s bloody Woollahra. Deers as a matter of principle do not go to Woollahra.
“I saw a car stop, I saw a hairy thing in the road and thought it was an Irish wolfhound,” local commuter Christopher Zinn told the Sydney Morning Herald.
“Then I got closer and saw these great big long legs and thought, ‘No, it’s a kangaroo.’ And then I saw it was a deer. It wasn’t visibly injured and it wasn’t visibly in pain, it was just in deep shock and then it expired.”
People had spotted the deer prancing along Bondi Road earlier. Bondi Junction resident Grant Levy told the SMH that he couldn’t believe that he’d seen a bloody deer in BJ. “I was standing on my balcony, just lighting the barbecue, when I saw the deer running from my drive down the path into my back yard,” he said. “I pinched myself because I couldn’t imagine seeing a deer in the middle of Bondi Junction.”
Robin Grindrod, a volunteer with Sydney Wildlife, said she had never heard of any such animal living so close to central Sydney. It’s pretty unlikely that it managed to hoof it from the National Park up to Bondi without being seen.
Speculation has mounted that it may have been picked up in the country sometime and then managed to grow up in a local park like Centennial Park.
The PEDESTRIAN.TV theory, as always, is aliens.
