Two zoo polar bears got a surprise chance to stalk wild prey on Friday when a deer got into their exhibit.
The two young bears, Koda Rogers and Nuka McFeeley, were minding their own business, enjoying some brotherly wrestling in their 150,000-gallon pool when the deer jumped 20 feet from the roof of the "Water's Edge" exhibit.
The deer actually turned and attacked the bears at one point. Zookeepers eventually broke up the fight by luring the bears with some treats, which ended up attracting the deer, too.
The bears were not injured, but the deer had to be euthanized because of injuries sustained in the fall from the roof.
