He was ready to fight! I always said if some one hit me with a car they better make sure i can't get back up!
Several years ago I had a doe run into the side of my Jeep Cherokee on the way to work. It appeared dead, so I called the sheriff for accident verification since the insurance company requires that to cover the damage. A fellow stopped to check things out and we dragged the doe off the road. As we were waiting, the "dead" doe suddenly started moving and raised its head. Before the deputy arrived, she regained her feet....albeit very wobbly....and wandered back the direction she had come from....which I don't believe she knew where she was or was going. Thankfully there was deer hair and a witness for the cop, as there was no "body" as evidence.
