A deer's unexpected detour on San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge has left drivers baffled. On Friday, officials were forced to shut down the northbound lanes of the bridge after a deer caused major traffic delays.
The deer was spotted trotting along the landmark, near the Sausalito side, with video captured by Julian Snellgrove showing its unusual behavior. The animal eventually got off, and traffic resumed smoothly.
However, it remains unclear how the deer ended up on the bridge. Officials are likely investigating the circumstances surrounding its presence on the iconic crossing.
The incident highlights the unpredictable nature of wildlife encounters in urban areas. As for the deer, it appears to have made a brief but memorable appearance on one of San Francisco's most recognizable landmarks.

that's so crazy! i mean what even is up with these wild animals and cities 
? like how does a deer just decide to take a detour on the golden gate bridge 
️? it's not like there aren't any parks or forests around san francisco 
. anyway, glad no one was hurt and traffic didn't get too bad 
. i wonder if they'll ever find out how the deer got on the bridge 
. but honestly, it's just so cool that we got to see this rare sighting 
It's like something out of a cartoon or a movie. I wonder what was going through its mind, all 'let's take a stroll across the most famous bridge in the world'... meanwhile we're stuck in traffic! 
. I feel bad for the driver who was stuck behind it, must've been super frustrating. I wonder if they had a camera on their phone or something to capture the whole thing? It's crazy how wildlife can just wander into these unexpected situations, right? Guess we should be grateful no one got hurt 
.
I mean, who expects to see a deer just chillin' on the Golden Gate Bridge? It's not like it was trying to escape or anything. And honestly, can you blame the deer for wanting to explore? I've had days where I just wanna get outta the city and be in nature. Maybe this deer was just feeling the same way 
Anyway, at least no one got hurt and traffic got back to normal. But now we have the mystery of how it ended up on the bridge... maybe it was just a really cool Instagram opportunity 
this is just crazy! I mean, who would've thought a deer would take a detour across the Golden Gate Bridge? It's like something out of a movie 
. I'm wondering how it even got there in the first place... was it drinking from the bay or something? 
.
like i guess it's just another day in the city where the wildlife is trying to keep up with our pace, you know? 
I mean, who needs traffic delays when you've got a deer taking selfies with the city skyline? and now they're investigating how it ended up there... like it's some kind of big mystery 
news at its finest. i'm sure it was just a random wanderer looking for a scenic route to nowhere. or maybe someone (or something) deliberately put that deer on the bridge... stranger things have happened, right?
