Signs are posted around a college campus in Carbondale, Illinois, warning people to watch out for deer. The signs are meant to protect the humans, not the deer.
Deer have threatened or attacked seven people on the campus of Southern Illinois University over the past two weeks. Four of the victims were sent to a hospital, none with life-threatening injuries.
The latest confrontation came Tuesday, when a doe charged three people. Two were hospitalized.
All of the encounters happened near the woods and may be tied to a female deer's natural protectiveness during fawning season.
A scientist also says the area's deer population is rising and that construction may have pushed the animals onto the campus.

I can understand the deer attacking, but how exactly does a deer threaten one? LOL
