There’s a biologist term for everything.

Bonus Fun Fact: Stotting is a behavior observed in quadrupeds (those animals with 4 legs) where they jump into the air, off all their feet, and kind of spring along in a stiff-legged, hopping-like movement. It’s kind of adorable. It’s seen often in mule deer, pronghorn, and gazelle in Africa. Unfortunately, our local whitetail deer don’t often travel by stotting, so you’re unlikely to see it unless you travel elsewhere.
