Kayakers Rescue Deer Swimming in a Large Lake


Occurred on May 26, 2020 / Lakewood, Ohio, USA

Info from Licensor: "I was out on Lake Erie west of Cleveland with kayaking buddies Charlie, and Eric when we noticed something strange about a quarter-mile away. Not a duck. Not a goose. It was a deer's HEAD kicking up a wake and blasting out in the general direction of Canada at warp speed. Though he was moving at an unbelievable pace, eventually we intercepted the little guy two miles out and were able to corral him back in-but not before having to head off boats and jetskis heading straight for him. He was able to climb up a rocky embankment and shake off the experience of having swam over four miles. He took off up the grassy slope to the cheers of onlookers."
