Oh Deer. You Don't See That Everyday

You've got to wonder if the polar bears thought "Lunch"!

A deer jumped from the top of a 20 foot wall into the tank of two polar bears at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium. I'm serious......

The bears chased the deer around in circles for a few minutes after he plunged into the water. Zoo keepers eventually lured the bears and the deer into holding pens. But the deer went into shock after the incident and had to be euthanized.

As zoo patrons watched, the deer kept the curious bears at bay with head butts and hooves. The whole ordeal only lasted a few minutes and was caught on the camera that shows a live feed from the polar bear exhibit. I'm waiting for the Youtube release.

Zoo officials say this will not be a daily attraction.
