Viral TikToker Takes the Cutest Photos of His Adopted Deers for National Geographic, Gets Fired

TikToker Pip Kochel is constantly going viral for his cute deer content. On his farm, his photos and videos make it seem like he lives the happiest life with his adopted deer. His most viral videos have the deers dressing in costumes, like a lady bug or bumble bee. Seriously, every time he posts a video of his deer in a bumble bee costume, it blows up. And rightfully so—it's the cutest and most wholesome content you'll ever see. These deer truly look like they are living the happiest life. They'll never know the life of Bambi.

Recently, Kochel posted a video of a photoshoot he did with his deer for National Geographic. The photos make the deers look like friends hanging out having a laugh. Kochel captioned the video, however, that the magazine fired him. 

The photos are absolutely adorable. So it's pretty shocking they didn't work out. Sure, they're not your usual nature photography pieces of majestic animals in the wild, but they're unique and full of love. 

All of Kochel's viral deer content portrays these forest dwellers as if they were candids of some friends just hanging out. As if, it's just Kochel and his gang—which it kind of is. 

Viewers have flooded the comment section voicing how upset they are about National Geographic not accepting these sweet photos that fill the viewer with so much serotonin. One commenter asked them to apologize right now, while another said that National Geographic “deserves less.”

All his deer seem like his friends, but his BFFs definitely seem like the deers named Lily and Sadie. These are the two deers usually featured in the cute costumes and seem to be the star of the show. 

Kochel also posts tons of photos of his deer adventures on his Instagram, so National Geographic or not, you can still see wholesome images of these happy deers. Plus, his viral TikTok videos? You've got enough serotonin to last you a lifetime. 

The video shows the deer photoshoot that National Geographic passed on, and boy, do they look so dumb right now.
