Looks more like photos mid scratch.

I saw a deer scratch it's armpit with its rear hoof the other day and it was kinda surreal looking, I really don't think of hooves doing that much

Since this has been disproven I will instead offer a different fun fact I learned recently. Animals shed and have different costs for different seasons. However some animal's coats will also change colors to help them camouflage.

One example of this are certain species of hares and rabbits such as the white-tailed jackrabbit.
