Narrative:

On the first leg of our high speed we were landing on runway 25. I (PF) had touched down after an uneventful landing when; around 90 KIAS; a deer was spotted on the runway simultaneously by myself and the captain. The captain applied brakes and some rudder pedal steering to avoid the animal. No part of the aircraft was struck by the animal and the tire tread was not noticeably affected by the braking action.
