Baby deer falls into basement window well and gets trapped. Watch her rescue
A Wisconsin rescue group came to the aid of a baby deer that managed to find herself in a very unfortunate situation.
The Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control in Greendale managed to pull off a very gentle save when a little fawn was in distress, video shows.
'Watch as Marcus from Skedaddle Wisconsin rescues a stranded deer fawn that accidentally fell into a basement window well,' the rescue center said in a June 18 Facebook post.
'This deer fawn is safely reunited with nature thanks to quick action and a humane approach.'
The video shows Marcus Mueller reach for the tan coated, white speckled fawn in the hole, get a steady grip on her and calmly lift her out without startling her.
She even let out a tiny 'squeak' as she emerged.
'This was one of those situations where acting quickly and calmly made all the difference,' Mueller told WISN. 'The fawn was clearly stuck and stressed, but with a gentle lift, we were able to free it without causing panic or harm.'
According to the news station, she was reunited with her mother who 'had been waiting for hours.'
Greendale is about a 10-mile drive southwest of Milwaukee.
