One method used by deer to detect
predators is the head fake. A deer will be staring at some unidentified object
and then slowly lower its head as if about to feed. As soon as his jaw drops
below his chest, the head will snap back up to see if the object is moved. A
key to recognizing this behavior is if the head drops painfully slow and there
is no tail switching.
