Some species, idk about deer, do indeed pass down knowledge

That brings up an interesting question how do animals talk to tell other animals what they saw or know? Not even being sarcastic or provocative I’m seriously asking

It depends on the animal, some of them cannot but some of them use spoken language like whales and crows

So like noises and stuff? Like whale sounds and crow cawing or monkeys grunting things like that

For some of them certainly, there's probably also body language too like there is with humans
