If a deer jumps into a lion exhibit what else is there to do besides helplessly watch? The “Deer Jumps Into Lion Cage” video is quickly becoming one of the days most searched on YouTube, in which you witness spectators cheering the fawn on into safety. Read more below.
If you were a fawn, I bet the last place that you’d want to end up is in a lion cage, right? Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened to a little one at the National Zoo.
The wild animal wandered over to the cage, and jumped right in… I guess his mother never told him not to talk to predators. So the youngster had to learn a lesson the hard way, and was severely injured by the ruthless predatory cats.
He was chased down by two lionesses, but somehow managed to make a quick dash towards the exhibits moat and escape. In the background of the video you can hear spectators cheering on the babe as it made a mad dash into the water.
However, this story doesn’t have a happy ending. The injuries inflicted on the little one were too severe, which left the zoo’s staff with no other options but to put it down.
