野生动物观察者和摄影师在在线平台和社交网络上分享数据的人数正在增加；种间关系的图像是最受欢迎的。野生有蹄类动物之间的行为干扰是罕见的，但这种行为的一些事件可能已经在专门针对野生动物的Facebook小组中被报道过。我们搜索了狍的行为信息，向高海拔地区扩张，有北岩羚羊的存在。我们的研究是在Facebook的自然摄影和野生动物观察小组/页面上进行的。我们分析了收集到的73个观察结果中的67个观察结果：在超过67%的观察结果中，狍子和岩羚羊在没有相互作用的情况下共享同一个喂食地点。在28%的案例中，雌性岩羚羊在觅食地点追逐并驱赶雌性狍，其余5%的案例中，雄性岩羚羊（主要在水坑）被驱赶。即使没有关于这些物种分布趋势的数据，我们认为这些相互作用可能随着全球变暖和狍活动范围的扩大而增加，这一假设值得进一步关注和实地研究。
The number of wildlife watchers and photographers sharing data on online platforms and social networks is increasing; images of interspecific relationships are among the most popular. Behavioural interference among wild ungulates is rare, but some occurrences of this behaviour may have been reported on wildlife-dedicated Facebook groups. We searched for information on the behaviour of roe deer, expanding towards high altitudes, in presence of Northern chamois. Our research was carried out on Facebook groups/pages of natural photography and wildlife watching. We analysed a total of 67 observations out of 73 collected: in over 67% of them, roe deer and chamois shared the same feeding site without interacting. In 28% of cases, female chamois chased and displaced female roe deer at feeding sites and only in the remaining 5% male roe deer displaced chamois (mainly at waterholes). Even if no data are available on distribution trends of these species, we suggest that these interactions may increase with increasing global warming and range expansion of roe deer – a hypothesis that deserves further attention and field studies.
