Officials from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife have emerged as holiday heroes after helping an unusual deer facing a Grinch-level experience.
The buck lives in Dallas, Oregon, and has been nicknamed Tripod because it has only three legs. Recently, it needed help from wildlife officials after getting a string of Christmas lights tangled in its antlers. “ODFW darted it and removed the lights,” the agency tweeted this week.
ODFW posted several photos of the deer. One shows it standing with the lights dangling from its head. Another shows it tranquilized with a denim covering over its face as a wildlife official removes the lights from the antlers.
