This is the moment a fearless deer was caught in headlights on a residential street in Cornwall and hung around to get a closer look at the car.

Receptionist Christine Lees, 53, was driving home at night on October 15 when she turned into a street and came across the wild animal.

But instead of running off, it just stayed put for around five minutes, stopping Christine from getting past and allowing her time to film it.

The video shows the curious deer come up to Christine's car in St Ives, Cornwall, to have a better look, completely undeterred by the bright headlights.
