Magical encounter in the Kottenforst: White and black deer on the go!

Bonn: Animals cause excitement in the Kottenforst

In the Kottenforst in Bonn, an unusual duo of a white and a black deer is currently causing lively discussions and enthusiasm among walkers. The animals that move freely in the forest have been viewed several times by visitors and documented on social networks. A recently divided video shows the two deer while calm and pose, which led to a wave of fascination on social media.

In the past few weeks there were indications of the presence of the two fallow deer. These animals not only stand out due to their coloring, but also due to their striking trust towards people. A walker said that she discovered the deer during her tour, whereby she did not want to reveal the exact place of her observation for security reasons. Her opinion on the free -running animals was clear: "Much nicer than locked up".

The reactions of the community are mostly positive. Many commentators describe the animals as a harmonious couple, and some use the term "yin and yang" to describe the contrary coloring. In addition, other users reported that they have also seen the two deer in the Kottenforst several times.

However, there are also critical voices. Some people emphasize that sightings of such animals in the city of forest administration should be reported. In fact, the background to these animals are complex. According to a message from the city of Bonn, the deer from a wild enclosure on the Waldau flipped after a fence was damaged. This happened at the beginning of April 2025, and the forester Angelika Angelika Valueman suspects that the animals will ultimately look for their way back to their herd.

The forester also informed that the animals are used to humans, but urgently ask them not to feed them. Despite their confidence, the deer are easy to cope with in the wild. The city of Bonn pointed out that all the visits of the animals should be reported to the city forestry. Despite the request, the two deer kinks are still in the forest two weeks after their outbreak.
