Ever played the impostor before?

Maybe you tried sneaking into a class you’re not enrolled in or pretended to work somewhere that you didn’t apply for.

Apparently, it’s not only humans who do that sort of thing. Animals, most surprisingly, can make for really convincing impostors.

Leslie Sherrill was driving through Fayetteville, Arkansas when she saw a rather peculiar sight.

A herd of deer was hopping across the street.

But there was something that made Sherrill do a double take.

There was an imposter among them.

The animals may be of similar build and shade but one is definitely not like the other. She started pointing at the individual animals.

She said “that’s a deer” to the other members of the parade but stopped at one animal.

She asked in the video what animal it was. Or more specifically, what was it doing with the herd?

She then revealed that it was a domesticated farm animal.

Definitely not a deer.

It was some kind of sheep.

And it was following the herd like it was one of them.

In a hilarious moment, the deer even stopped and stared at Sherill as if saying “What are you looking at?”

And the sheep, just beside the curious deer, seemed to say “Yeah, what are you looking at us deer for?”

They all held their gazes for a moment, then the herd continued to march to the other side of the road.

What was truly remarkable was the fact that the fawns weren’t scared of the impostor.

The fawns accepted him.

In fact, as they gallop onto the side of the road, the fawns flanked the sheep as if it was their own.

Now, we don’t know what kind of deer secrets this sheep intended to get, but I hope it realizes the kindness of these unsuspecting forest animals.

Sherrill even noted that the leader of the herd was careful enough to choose paths that the sheep could walk on or jump over to.

This is not unheard of.

A similar case was noted in the UK back in 2013.

This time, however, the tables were turned. A deer was thought to have lost its herd.

Maybe scared of the dangers of traveling alone, it joined a flock of sheep down by the grazing fields.

“I’ve been involved with sheep all my life but I’ve never seen deer interact with them.” Said Andrew Capell, the flock’s shepherd, said to BBC. “They seem to have accepted him as one of their own.”

Meanwhile, this also wasn’t the Fayetteville impostor’s first rodeo.

“We drove up on them about a month ago and have been debating what type of animal it is for weeks!” one comment read, “When we saw it, it had chucks of fur hanging from it as if it had been partially sheared.”

“The sheep’s name is Isaac, he was rescued by my neighbor a couple of years ago.” A person who seemed to be a local said “He escaped their property and lived in my yard until the fence was built. He now roams with the deer.”

“They live or move back and forth in this location often. We live just down the hill from here.” Another one commented.

Watch how this herd of deer accepted a sheep as one of their own in the video below!
