One thing about deer , their deliveries are very quick and the babies are up within minutes and able to walk away with mom. This little guy had something wrong with it and as sad as it may be the bear did it a favor and gave it a quicker death ...
@@thesturminator2991 wow they're not tigers!!!!! Tigers will sometimes start eating before their prey is dead especially larger prey, most predators are the same, as long as it doesn't pose much danger of hurting them they start dining ...... Unless the bear ate really really slowly it was a lot faster death than the little critter was facing otherwise which was my point..
to me it appears the man who made the video either found an injured fawn or injured it himself then left it on the side of a road with cameras set up to watch it in order to make a youtube video. judging by the way the road looks and not a single person tried to help the fawn i am guessing it is his driveway.
Yea something was definitely wrong with that fawn. Normally it would have been able to walk and it apparently looked like it was in the same spot all day.
This fawn was laying in our driveway when my wife got home. When I came home 2 hours later, the fawn was on the side of driveway. I put a trail camera on driveway to see how the mother would take care of it. The mother knocked the camera over so I moved it to the other side of driveway. This is why there is 2 camera views. Did we expect a bear to take it.. no. We called the game commission to set a tap for the bear since the bear had mange.
Too many bears, they are the no.1 predator of fawns. Try to take all the legal bears you can. This fawn was hurt/sick but healthy ones stand the same chance…..none
@@saltymofo5870 Too many deer... Population is exploding all over the USA and at least western Canada (don't know about eastern, but I expect there also). There's a herd of 12+ currently in my subdivision and they are bold enough they won't move off more than 20 yards or so when you try and scare them. This spring from out front porch we watched them eat the tulips. A couple of years ago an 80+ year old neighbor got tired of them eating her garden, so she shot one then called the sheriff. (DOH!) Turned into a big hassle with a court hearing and everything. She lost her hunting privileges for life. 😆 Bet she doesn't call the sheriff next time... I cannot even get an local archery tag to harvest legally.
@@Sylvan_dB 10/4 man I know a lot of places have a deer problem, especially some urban areas that don’t allow hunting. Where I am at we have a bear problem and it has been getting worse for several years now. I do ADC( animal damage control ) work from spring till fall and 90% of it is black bears. Our state only allows 1 bear per year in most counties, but we can get 8 or 9 deer in most counties with proper tags. I will guarantee you that a deer problem isn’t anywhere near as bad as a bear problem.
I would not be surprised if it got nicked by a passing car. Yet I saw a doe die by the road. We tried to chase her away from the road but she would go right back. She was just standing there doing nothing. We found a truck had hit her on the way back. In this case seems like there was no hope for the fawn.
What most likely happened looking at context clues: The doe either tried to lead the fawn down the hill, or she gave birth to the fawn in one of those bushes on the hill to hide it. Some time after being birthed, it rolled down and had a bad fall on the rocks at the foot of the hill. The fall either broke a leg or damaged its central nervous system, rendering the fawn immobile. I wouldn't bet on a car doing it in. The fawn is way too small to have gotten that far and be that clean after being hit by what is essentially a giant steel bullet with grinders for wheels. A car being involved would've made that bear a scavenger instead of a hunter.
I'm curious is that how long the grieving process last for lower animals like deer and elk and stuff, because primates like chimps and gorillas and other animals like elephants and dolphins mourn dead and even do little ceremonies and such and maybe move them to a certain part of their grazing area and will linger around a fallen youngun or elder for hours or 1-2 days I think but I wonder if Deer go through an grieving process for.. maybe minutes or maybe just a half an hour before they move on just begin grazing and wandering around the forest. I'm curious about this
Looked to me like the fawn may have died before the bear got there. There was definitely something wrong that fawn should have been up and nursing in 30 minutes.
@@saveThe90s88when fawns are born they’ll be up on their feet in minutes. This one had half a day and was still laying on the ground flailing, it couldn’t even successfully get its legs under itself to try getting up. If it wasn’t dead by the time the bear showed up it would be soon anyways because it couldn’t even stand up to drink milk from the mother. Something was clearly defunct about it, either neurologically or physically.
Nahhh, what's even more messed up is how there's that extra two and a half minutes of the mother and the fawn to make us feel even worse when lil homie gets snatched up
@@mariocampos7590 lions don't always kill before feasting either. I got traumatized watching NatGeo and a lion was eating a jackrabbit alive while the rabbit was screaming bloody Mary. I will never forget that scream.
@@yourface3154 hell yeah it did. I wasn't prepared to hear a jackrabbit scream like that with it's guts hanging out and a chunk of it's stomach missing. I didn't even know they screamed like that. Listen to a rabbit scream and then put it in that surrounding, it was like watching a horror movie lol
From the look of it the fawn was sick/injured and she figured staying with it until a predator came and ended it was the best option. Nature can be extremely cruel like that.
Damn the bear was so aggressive about snatching it lmao like the fawn was basically immobile and the bear just casually sniffing then he suddenly pins it and gives it a little maul 😂😂
@@TCgirl It's nature. I grew up watching nature documentaries, seen things 100 times worse than this, on TV and honestly in real life too, I'm desensitised, so yeah, the suddenness of the aggression in the bear surprised me and made me laugh a little.
How sad. The mother kept returning. She was clearly concerned for her child. I agree with the other people, the fawn seems like maybe it was injured or born disabled. It didn't stand a chance. In my opinion though being killed by the bear was probably better than just laying there and eventually starving. It's quicker, provides a benefit to the bear, though I'm not sure whether it would be less painful. Hunger is painful but I imagine being eaten by a bear is as well. Anyways, rest in peace. Hope the mother had better luck with her next fawn. She seems to me to be a caring individual, and would likely be a good parent if circumstances were different.
The Earth has finite resources. Most Life Forms needs to consume other Life Forms in order to survive, and reproduce. It sucks that all Life Forms can't survive just off of the sun, water, and air like Plants. But yes, even still, Nature is marvelously beautiful and magnificent, just the diversity and complexity of all unique Life Forms on Earth can take multiple lifetimes to study and understand, let alone the diversity and complexity of the unique geographies of Earth both on Land and in the Oceans.
@@BangMaster96 To be fair plants need more than sun water and air. You forget they gotta eat too and fertilized soil is how they consume nutrients. The circle of life is just that and everything becomes a source of nutrients in the end for something else to thrive in one way or another.
I see a benefit for all three. The fawn is put out of its misery, the mother is spared having to care for it, the bear gets an easy and delicious meal.
@@rockysoft2227 Most uneducated, know-it-all people, do the same thing. It's a sign of "instant gratification" seekers. You were born with a computing device in your hand, and could not survive without a search engine telling you how to do...everything. You say, "I don't want to wait for the answer, I want it NOW"! If the people who made all the things that you take for granted thought that way, you would be playing baseball, football, hockey, or hunting/fishing - not holding a device in your hand 16hr/day. The existence of humans on Earth is soon to be a thing of the past. When all the scientists who made your devices die...the world will be void of independent thinkers, capable of servicing the satellites, and towers necessary to make your computer work, and you will be fooked, royally.
@@michaelholt8590 that could happen the bear could walk into the government building ask for a deed and buy the land from us humans get a house and we call him papa bear
Something wrong with that fawn. They usually start getting to their feet attempting to walk after about 10 minutes. It usually takes a couple of hours and multiple nonstop attempts to get walking. Not a full day !!!
The most heartbreaking part is watching that poor emancipated fawn struggle in vain as his mother tried her hardest to move him out of danger The bear did them both a mercy 💔
Poor baby broke its hind leg.Either that or it was paralyzed.Either way,that made it a easy target for predators like the bear.The mama dear tried her best,but there was nothing she could do,especially when the bear arrived…
A sad metaphor for the cruel world. Heartbreaking for the mother that remained nearby but still couldn't protect her baby. No mother should have to suffer seeing that.
Mothers have watched their kids get eaten alive for half a billion years on this planet. Humans are the only species that don’t have to deal with that on a regular basis.
@@ChicagoJoe94 we found it sleeping on the driveway and then 2 hours later we saw it was on the side of driveway. That is when I put trail camera on it
Stop blaming the clippers for not saving the fawn. Its too weak or paralyzed and cannot stood up normally all day, this is what gonna happens and we are all should let the natural work like them. Just like the clip for what they showed us🙏
I appreciate it. It is sad but like the game warden told me, it is nature at its best. We know it happens, but just normally don't see it. We tried to trap this bear as well because it had mange but never got it
What is natural by getting hit by a car? Nothing natural about it, the fawn was completely fine before that I guess, or the mother would have left if he was born completely retarted. Humans do this as well. I wouldn’t want to raise a retarted child.
In reptiles we call this display "Stargazing" and in them it is irreversible. I am glad to see common sense among the comments. This poor mom and baby had no chance.
@@SA-wu4lv not true. My point is people that get off on watching this and get enjoyment out of it should check themselves. Just because I eat meat doesn’t mean I enjoy watching an animal killed. I’m thankful for the food they provide. I just don’t think I should be getting off on watching an animal suffer or die. And I’m certainly not going to laugh at it. let’s talk about morals here. Seriously, how is this rocket science?
Okay so there are things going on here that you don’t understand honey. Let’s start with the Fawn. The was something wrong with it. Normally Fawns can walk moments after birth. This one was likely born with some kind of handicap preventing it from walking. It remained in the same place all day and night with isn’t normal fawn behavior. In Nature this is a death sentence. The Doe remained by her Fawns side due to instinct, but there is no margin for a deer that can’t walk to survive. At least not naturally. Human intervention could have potentially changed this. However it is important to understand that what you see here is mercy. If the bear hadn’t taken this fawn it likely would have starved to death after its mother eventually abandoned it. A quick death is a good death. Why should this unfortunate fawn have to suffer?
No we shouldn't. Yo, this is evolution, survival of the fittest. God is real, and so is evolution, and God thinks this is ok so stop whining. This stuff happens all over the world and is even happening right now, cry about it, lady. Stop thinking that everything is like Disney, smh.
Deer often lay with their head back across their bodies if they are unwell or injured and give up on life. This fawn was doing this at some points in the video and like others have commented, fawn's can normally get up almost straightaway after being born and then hide in thick foliage or long grass, but this little one looked like he couldn't stand up. So it would seem that either he was born with something wrong with him at this spot or maybe he injured himself (Maybe falling down that slope) and he couldn't move from there.
Don't have bad feelings. We saw the fawn in middle of driveway and 2 hours later it was on side of driveway. I put the trail cameras on to see what the mother would do. Never expected the bear to do this. We also tried to capture the bear because as you can see, it has mange but never caught it
It’s really heartbreaking to see how these beautiful and meek creatures are basically feeders in wildlife. It’s always saddening to see cute precious fawns being taken by predators.
The mother probably secretly went to the bear crying and told him, “I don’t know what to do, I’ve tried everything,” and the bear told her, “Now, now, deer, don’t worry. I’ll make it quick. Just make sure when you get back in front of the camera that you pretend to not know what happened to little Terry.”
I mean, the phon looked injured, and it didn’t seem like he wouldn’t have much time to live anyway, so might as well make it easy for the bear to have a midnight snack or something
This fawn was on the ground for far too long. The doe was unsuccessfully trying to get it on its feet. Also the camera perspective changed at some point (because the camera owner moved the camera).
To everyone saying there is something wrong with the fawn, thank you. I wouldn't have been able to determine this without your riveting insights to the situation. Keep on being the superstars of society with your mind-blowing innovation and superb intellect. 👌 🤣 😂
ngl the mother was obviously going to abandon the fawn if the bear didn’t take it, only liveable animals may survive in this harsh world to give good genes to future deers
Yeah that fawn had problems and probly would not live anyway but in areas like mine where black bears are thick as fleas on a dogs back Whitetail fawn mortality is extremely high, my guess is 75% or more in this area
Since it was near the road way I knew it had been hit cause deer,ESPECIALLY A MOTHER DEER AND IT'S FAUN are not bedding down beside traffic or wide open spaces
I love bears 🐻 and fawns 🦌 I’m sad for this sweet creature but I understand and fully respect nature. This is immeasurably easier to watch than human cruelty which is sickening
Theatre and cats, I understand and agree with what you are saying but whoever took this video is kind of a creep for not helping that fawn. I would have taken it to safety and helped it, not stood there to get off on watching it be killed. That takes a hardened shit head.
Got watch another video of a bear eating a deer alive while it screams for like 15 minutes slowly dying. A human hunter can drop a deer in seconds. The bear will take its time
took the video huuh@@TCgirl, you do realize that that was a trail cam that's on a tree right. As you can see the time lapse and if some/any human can sit there for darn near 20 hours just taping a deer then I give them alot of props 😆
@@SkankHunt8008both types disgust me to the core, but I still do understand why it has to happen. Except hunting for sport and wasting everything on the deer. That’s just despicable. My uncle uses every part of the animal he kills, as long as he has the tools or capacity to do it, and I respect those types of people.
The fawn was disabled and as such was doomed to be a meal. The way the bear pounced when he smelt the warm dear meat you could sense the excitement. The Bear was like this is even better than McDonald's 🐻
80% of a black bear's diet is plant material. The bear had no idea that it would be coming across a deer fawn when it went out to eat. Being opportunistic, it jumps on the chance for some extra protein. Setting aside our anthropomorphic tendencies, let's look at the bright side. It was probably taking a midnight snack home to feed two young cubs. Less than 50% of fawns in Ontario make it to their first birthday, due to predation, car accidents, drowning. Nature has no favourites. The bear was only doing what a bear is supposed to do. Its not a cruel world.
It was. Obviously the fawn could not move and was disabled in some way. I don't think that the doe would have left her fawn in such an exposed area, in a washout spot by the road. So the bear's attack was a mercy.
Seems that poor little fawn was doomed from the start. It was unable to get on its feet when they normally can stand within minutes of birth. The mother kept trying to coax it on its feet, but to no avail.
@@fredstriker2042 Don't you know? When something bad happens to animals it's ALWAYS human fault. I always find it ironic humans say damn humans. Like breh you're one too
@@judgejenny2251 we’ve been eating it as our primary source of red meat for 33 years. You may have gotten ahold of some not properly handled or cooked, or perhaps from a location where the deer survived on lesser food sources. Where I’m at they eat a lot of corn and soybeans. Makes for great stuff !!
@@judgejenny2251 its great deer sausage tastes great.. watch the Bruce Lee movie where the guy has pet lions and eats raw venison and drinks the blood.
The baby was not going to make it, mother was smart, brought it to the clearing. Saw it on its way . Bear comes and gets it after it slowly fell asleep
