The deer walks away several yards when he's done then turns and attacks again once the hawk started flapping. Bambi was not about to watch Thumper get merked without getting it back in blood.
This is one of those things that if you witnessed this with your own eyes and tried to tell someone, no one would believe you. Incredible this was caught on video.
Not a single soul would believe you at all. If someone told me that they had seen this exact video before today, I would have assumed they were full of crap.
Lucky the person filmed it, bad thing he could help at all, with a smartphone filming nowadays we simply have not a single hand free to help... at least the deer helped...
Simple explanation for the deer's behavior - The deer is a doe. She probably has a fawn hidden in the area. The screaming a rabbit makes when it is frightened sounds very similar to the bleating a young fawn does when it is attacked or frightened. The doe heard the rabbit, assumed it was her fawn under attack, came to defend it and didn't care that it was a rabbit. The doe was triggered and went for the cause of the attack - the hawk. The rabbit escaped, the hawk got stomped, the fawn was still safely hidden and the doe turns into a YT star. Everyone wins except the hawk.
That rabbit will probably die, if not bc of the initial injuries from the talons but bc of the infection that will set in from the talons. Those talons are full of deadly bacteria.
For over 20 years we have lived with deer coming through our yard, hanging out, just chilling. Never in my life have I ever a deer behave this way. Amazing to watch. My guess is she has fawns nearby and reacted to the rabbit’s scream as though it were one of her babies.
@@stephenharper6638 a young buck would have done more to challenge the other 1 coming rather than a hey take off, this is my battle! The doe saw all as a threat! And acted accordingly.
Been around deer almost 60 yrs, this behavior is consistent with a doe protecting fawns! Though I have never witnessed a deer being violent, we all knew not to threaten their young! Deer & rabbit often graze together, so this surprises me not at all! And the Bambi defends Thumper narrative is adorable! Lol
deer can be absolutely mean and brutal just like any other animal. If you run into a pissed off Buck during the rut, they will 100% charge and gore you if you give them the chance.
I grew up in KY. Tldr; This deer was just hunting. They eat birds all the time, usually going for babies but injured, sleeping, or grounded birds are also easy targets. You can look up pictures and videos of them eating birds but I don't recommend it.
There's a full on "hunters getting trampled by deer" video rabbit hole you can fall down if so inclined. Deer rearing and pummeling with their hooves are why there are still deer. They ain't no sheep. 🤣
I thought the deer was just going to run at the hawk. It kicked the everloving shit out of that thing. Bambi's not gonna let you mess with Thumper. There will be consequences and repercussions.
Ha Ha! I was thinking the same thing! Ya mess with Thumper, Bambi's gonna kick some ass! The hawk had a brief moment he could have flown away, he was in the air, but instead he went back for more. That pretty much sealed his fate.
5 seconds from the first rabbit cry to "park patrol" arrival. The deer arrived like he had been trained in cheetah camp. Clearly one of the best wildlife videos ever! 👍
@johnnytheprick Oh, BS! Once it got away, it hid in a burrow, or in thick shrubs. The rabbit learned to pay better attention after that. No hawk watching the situation, was going to go anywhere near THAT area for a while.
That’s not defending. That’s cold blood murder. Didn’t kill the hawk for food or territory or for even “defending” a rabbit. That was just out right murder. The deer should be charged.
They're powerful enough to kill humans. A buck killed a mailman back in the early 2000s. A passing car saw the attack and scared him away with the horn. They rushed the mailman to the hospital, but it was too late.
@@Tyler-8898Not necessarily. First, neither of those are clinical terms. They're more criminology based terms. The clinical analogue is antisocial personality disorder. But even in terms of the differentiation, I'd lean sociopath. Psychopaths don't feel emotions or create relationships. So insofar as the deer appears to be aiding another, that seems more consistent with sociopathy than psychopathy. Ultimately, most people use them interchangeably. I worked as a therapist for 17 years before moving over into forensic work, so I'm familiar with the clinical and forensic side of things, but I put more stock in clinical terminology than criminology based differentiations.

We've all seen the Australian woman rescue a fire singed koala give it water, and wrap it in a towel. The woman is being no more just instinctive than the deer. The woman knows what she was doing, and so does the deer. The deer's basic protective instinct gives the deer the capacity to understand and act against the hawk.
That has got to be the most pissed-off deer in existence. The other deer comes in like "You okay, bro?" and the first deer is like, "In a moment, man, I've gotta finish him off."
@@DonkeyBackpack Which is interesting. Deer and rabbits have a near identical "language". They use the exact same grunts, honks, and screams for mating, general communication, and danger.
@kafka6451- I couldn’t agree more. Nature is beautiful and sometimes hard to watch. I personally want them all to live and thrive. I wish humans would stop destroying their habitat! This was amazing.
i'm also convinced that doe was a mother at some point, if not then, who's maternal instincts were so strong when she heard the rabbit crying out that she just went into a defensive rage. i've heard baby deer cry before, they're a bit different but not too far off.
Yea I'm amazed at the blood rage here. Like, nothing in nature is surprising after a while, but I would never have guessed a doe would be so insistent on terminating a threat. You'd think she'd back off once she felt it was neutralized.
It's likely fawning season, and the rabbit crying sounded like a fawn in distress. Motherly instincts kicked in [Edit] Oh deer! This reply section has turned into a real fight.
@@nojorooney - "never eat meat unless they are lacking in nutrition". That's not true. They are opportunists to food sources. If the opportunity presents itself they take it. They have multiple stomachs for this reason ....And what makes it more apparent is that when the other deer came running up, it fended it off. Clearly it wanted the bird as a meal for itself.
@@winterhaydn they have multiple stomachs to digest plants, omnivorous creatures such as baboons only have one because meat and fruits aren’t hard to digest, but plants are hard to digest so deer have four stomachs to digest them. They are not very opportunistic because they do not need to be, because plants are usually abundant, although they occasionally eat meat, that is usually a sign of malnutrition just like in other herbivores. It seems like it chased off the other deer because it thought the hawk was still alive as it was clearly still trampling it by the time the video ended, it did not try to eat it, you could be right but in very lush areas like these it is highly unlikely that it was trying to or was going to eat the hawk.
The rabbit cry triggered a mother’s instinct. If you’ve heard a fawn distress call they are similar. Note: do not make fawn distress calls in the forest.
Hawk attacking rabbit: instinct to hunt for food. Rabbit crying out in distress: instinct to vocally express fear and pain. Fawn running to the rescue: instinct to protect (what it may have thought was a baby deer). All three doing what Nature has programmed them to do. Nature is a fascinating, beautiful and sometimes cruel place.
I’ve been an outdoorsman my entire life and I’ve never seen a whitetail deer as aggressive as that. She was all about killing that bird and damned if she didn’t. Pretty amazing look at nature.
@@DankFroot me too! The first time I saw a deer kill and start to eat another mammal was my cat. I was 10 watching from our living room window and my cat was getting ready to pounce on a gopher when the deer came out of no where and stomped my cat to death, by the time I found my dad in the barn and made him go to the front yard the deer had alre6started eating my cat! Growing up on a farm; some animals are food and some are pets... and although I had been helping my dad butchering animals for several years I was not prepared to see a bloody faced deer hovering over my cat.
Errr - that about sums it up, because it was disturbing, yet heartwarming indeed! Kinda...makes your brain rethink what you've been taught about animals!
The deer is racist....point blank. The deer should be put in some kind of deer habitat cage for attacking a colored hawk. I'm so sick & tired of all the racism in the world 😡😡😡😡
That deer was definitely triggered by some flashbacks to some prior experience. It certainly made sure the job was complete and that there would be no second chance for the Hawk.
The deer was triggered because the deer is a doe, the cries a rabbit makes when it is attacked sounds very similar to the bleating a fawn makes when it is frightened. The doe probably had a fawn hidden in the immediate area, responded to the rabbit and creamed the hawk as a result.
I'm guessing that the very same hawk snagged one of her babies, recently, and she instantly became the judge, juror, and executioner self-appointed to vindicate the prior offence. "He won't swope down around here anymore!"lol.
The 2nd deer showed up and was like "Dude, chill, you got 'em it's over" and Bambo (Bambi/Rambo) was like "NOTHING IS OVER! YOU JUST DON'T TURN IT OFF!" 🤣🤣
Go listen to fawn in distress calls, and rabbit in distress calls. They're very similar. The deer most likely heard the distress call and thought it was her fawn. Once she was in the fight, she was reticent to get out of it until she was sure the hawk was dead. You can see in the behavior that she was concerned that if she let up, the hawk would come back and attack. My guess is she wanted to make sure that thing was good and dead, so it couldn't come back and attack her, or the fawn she initially thought she was defending in the first place.
They do sound similar. It makes sense she would go and kill it. She really went after it like a predator. Even chased off other deer coming to look. I thought she was eating it or something. But deer are vegetarians i thought.
1st: Yay for the rabbit escaping death. 2nd: Oh, no. Is that hawk holding onto the deer? Will the deer be injured for his good deed? 3rd: Holy moly! Is that deer KILLING the hawk?! Poor hawk.
The deer is racist....point blank. The deer should be put in some kind of deer habitat cage for attacking a colored hawk. I'm so sick & tired of all the racism in the world 😡😡😡😡
Ive never expected a deer to be THIS AGRESSIVE.It brings an sense of reality to the phrase "An wild animal can be pacific,but will never be defenseless"
Hawk Heaven: Hawk 1: So how did you guys die? Hawk 2: I was shot by a pocher. Hawk 3: I was eaten by a bear. Hawk 4: I was mauled by a deer 🥺. Hawks 1 - 3: Wait what?? 😨
"Hooves of Fury". I did not expect this. I thought that the deer would spook the hawk and the hawk would fly away, but that only happens in fairy tales children. This is Sparta!
Wow ! The screaming rabbit sounded a lot like a fawn. I think mamma thought a fawn was in trouble. She was absolutely fierce. I've never seen a deer so ferocious. I felt so sorry for the rabbit. Then I felt sorry for the hawk. He/she was just trying to eat like every other animal. Looks like the hawk picked the wrong rabbit.
I saw a mother deer do this to a full grown coyote once, it was running away with her fawn in it's mouth. She actually killed the coyote just like this. I've had a new respect for deer ever since. Can you imagine if she had antlers?
Bloody hell! I was expecting a graceful and quick 'save' and trot off, not Bambi going absolutely nuclear and stamping a Hawk in to playdough.

@@DonkeyBackpack Which is interesting. Deer and rabbits have a near identical "language". They use the exact same grunts, honks, and screams for mating, general communication, and danger.
That bird is dead
What life???
Exactly !!!
Bambi: "You tried to kill Thumper!"
Other deer: " Dude, you got him! You got him!"
Bambi: "I'll tell you when I'm done!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I read this right before the second deer came on the video 😂
He taught him a lesson!!!
Was it trying to eat him? That would be so wrong, like Hannibal wrong.
I ll tell you when I am done , I am not done yet he is still breathing 😂😂😂😂
Even the other deer was like bro thats enough 😮
I think the deer's instincts kicked in when it heard the rabbit's cries, which sounded a bit like that of a baby deer.
@kafka6451- I couldn’t agree more. Nature is beautiful and sometimes hard to watch. I personally want them all to live and thrive. I wish humans would stop destroying their habitat! This was amazing.
it said "Do i hear someone messing with my sibling?!" and went batshit😭
Some baby deer have been attacked by hawks and survived. This one looks like it could have remembered an attack and went crazy.

I have hawks AND owls preying on the bunnies here, and I love to see the bunnies and their poop is good for my lawn.
i'm also convinced that doe was a mother at some point, if not then, who's maternal instincts were so strong when she heard the rabbit crying out that she just went into a defensive rage. i've heard baby deer cry before, they're a bit different but not too far off.
Bollocks, the deer clearly used the rabbit as bait to brutally bludgeon an innocent hawk.
I think Bambi might be a serial killer, she’d done that before.

@@Cenentury0941hhahahah fuck that bird
You had to sprinkle that mother crap again LMAO
That little bunny sounds just like a fawn!! That deer must've been a mum thinking her baby was in danger, that’s so sweet 😭

You really gottta stomp those wings just right, to make sure it ain't goin anywhere.

Wow, that was incredible. The deer wasn't just defending the rabbit, it made darn sure it took the hawk out.
it was not defending the rabbit in the first place
@@nightmarecreature4489 secretly they all have a craving for meat, that's why it fended off the other deer.
THANK GOD! Ohhhh...this is soooo satisfying to watch! Thank you dear deer...i hope you kill that ass@%#$ hawk!
Yea I'm amazed at the blood rage here. Like, nothing in nature is surprising after a while, but I would never have guessed a doe would be so insistent on terminating a threat. You'd think she'd back off once she felt it was neutralized.
It was a setup, I'm positive.
It's likely fawning season, and the rabbit crying sounded like a fawn in distress. Motherly instincts kicked in
[Edit] Oh deer! This reply section has turned into a real fight.
It heard the cries and thought meal.
"deer do eat meat on rare occasions" including birds, fish, and rabbits.
@@winterhaydndeer almost never eat meat unless they are lacking in nutrition. It definitely most likely thought it was a dawn in distress
@@nojorooney - "never eat meat unless they are lacking in nutrition". That's not true. They are opportunists to food sources. If the opportunity presents itself they take it. They have multiple stomachs for this reason ....And what makes it more apparent is that when the other deer came running up, it fended it off. Clearly it wanted the bird as a meal for itself.
@@winterhaydn they have multiple stomachs to digest plants, omnivorous creatures such as baboons only have one because meat and fruits aren’t hard to digest, but plants are hard to digest so deer have four stomachs to digest them. They are not very opportunistic because they do not need to be, because plants are usually abundant, although they occasionally eat meat, that is usually a sign of malnutrition just like in other herbivores. It seems like it chased off the other deer because it thought the hawk was still alive as it was clearly still trampling it by the time the video ended, it did not try to eat it, you could be right but in very lush areas like these it is highly unlikely that it was trying to or was going to eat the hawk.
Bambi 1 - Hawk 0 x.
Bambi said, "Don't mess with thumper." ❤
The rabbit cry triggered a mother’s instinct. If you’ve heard a fawn distress call they are similar. Note: do not make fawn distress calls in the forest.
That's what I was thinking! Sounds like baby deer! Deer don't have very good eyesight, so she runs past it, then the sound makes her veer back.
You should see a mama deer come down on a Golden Eagle attacking her fawn.
I was wondering if she might actually have a fawn, and was acting protectively. Didn't think about a fawn's cry sounding the same as a rabbit's.
That makes sense and why she was chasing the other dear away to protect what she thought was her baby.
Deers are such majestic animals, remind me of little horses
I think all of us here have a new found level of respect for deer.
Facts!!!
That deer is like a dog.
I don't think I could ever kill a deer now.
@@scottgilliam8185 Here is a fact. The deer ate the bird.
@@RebelRadius 😁😀
@@RebelRadius here s a fact a Human ate another human before??????
Hawk attacking rabbit: instinct to hunt for food.
Rabbit crying out in distress: instinct to vocally express fear and pain.
Fawn running to the rescue: instinct to protect (what it may have thought was a baby deer).
All three doing what Nature has programmed them to do.
Nature is a fascinating, beautiful and sometimes cruel place.

@@sk8ercaligirl Yes.. 👍

I’ve been an outdoorsman my entire life and I’ve never seen a whitetail deer as aggressive as that. She was all about killing that bird and damned if she didn’t. Pretty amazing look at nature.
Yeah, that was bizarre.
Ive seen them fuck up dogs and cats, and even small birds (which they ate afterwards).
@@DankFroot me too! The first time I saw a deer kill and start to eat another mammal was my cat. I was 10 watching from our living room window and my cat was getting ready to pounce on a gopher when the deer came out of no where and stomped my cat to death, by the time I found my dad in the barn and made him go to the front yard the deer had alre6started eating my cat! Growing up on a farm; some animals are food and some are pets... and although I had been helping my dad butchering animals for several years I was not prepared to see a bloody faced deer hovering over my cat.
@@oranjmusemeyer968Ummm.... pictures or it never happened. ( I read that on the interweb once. Lol)
@@oranjmusemeyer968 Sorry about your cat, that sucks. Hope you shot that deer and ate its heart raw while it was still warm.
The deer is thinking, “We lowly vegetarians ain’t going to take it anymore”
😅😅😅
@Todd Starbuck It's a joke, man.
I'm dyinggggg
Even herbivorous animals will eat meat when they lack important nutrients.
Lol Im done lmao
WOW talk about taking a Woopin' ! I feel sorry for the Hawk but I'm happy for the Rabbit and impressed by the Deer.
Um???? She just would not stop. This is the most deeply disturbingly heartwarming thing I have ever seen???
Errr - that about sums it up, because it was disturbing, yet heartwarming indeed!
Kinda...makes your brain rethink what you've been taught about animals!

@@apolloaegletes7322 This isn't the funny joke you think it is
@@apolloaegletes7322 Not the flex you thought Pooh 🌽 🌽 🌽
That deer was definitely triggered by some flashbacks to some prior experience. It certainly made sure the job was complete and that there would be no second chance for the Hawk.
The deer was triggered because the deer is a doe, the cries a rabbit makes when it is attacked sounds very similar to the bleating a fawn makes when it is frightened. The doe probably had a fawn hidden in the immediate area, responded to the rabbit and creamed the hawk as a result.
I'm guessing that the very same hawk snagged one of her babies, recently, and she instantly became the judge, juror, and executioner self-appointed to vindicate the prior offence. "He won't swope down around here anymore!"lol.
I think some deer PTSD going on there😳
The deer needed "anger management therapy"..
The 2nd deer showed up and was like "Dude, chill, you got 'em it's over" and Bambo (Bambi/Rambo) was like "NOTHING IS OVER! YOU JUST DON'T TURN IT OFF!" 🤣🤣
"I am the Captain of the woods now."
That comment is epic. 😎👊
Lmao bambo
🤣😆😆😆😆😆😆
You can't just leave him there half-alive,
Mortal Kombat voice: "FINISH HIM!!!"
Go listen to fawn in distress calls, and rabbit in distress calls. They're very similar. The deer most likely heard the distress call and thought it was her fawn. Once she was in the fight, she was reticent to get out of it until she was sure the hawk was dead. You can see in the behavior that she was concerned that if she let up, the hawk would come back and attack. My guess is she wanted to make sure that thing was good and dead, so it couldn't come back and attack her, or the fawn she initially thought she was defending in the first place.
Thank you so much for that explanation.
Make Sense 👍
@@greatndit I believe that deer was in it for the kill. Excellent video. Thanks.
Wow, so interesting! I’ve never seen a deer behave this way before, I thought their only means of defense is to run. Cool!
They do sound similar. It makes sense she would go and kill it. She really went after it like a predator. Even chased off other deer coming to look. I thought she was eating it or something. But deer are vegetarians i thought.
1st: Yay for the rabbit escaping death.
2nd: Oh, no. Is that hawk holding onto the deer? Will the deer be injured for his good deed?
3rd: Holy moly! Is that deer KILLING the hawk?! Poor hawk.

This is why no one should associate with a deer, elk, moose, etc. They can mess you up if they want.
Wow ! The screaming rabbit sounded a lot like a fawn. I think mamma thought a fawn was in trouble. She was absolutely fierce. I've never seen a deer so ferocious. I felt so sorry for the rabbit. Then I felt sorry for the hawk. He/she was just trying to eat like every other animal. Looks like the hawk picked the wrong rabbit.
I was thinking maybe the sound the rabbit was making too
That was my first thought watching this - she was sure it had her/a fawn... kept the other adult deer back, so sorry for the hawk!
Honestly not trying to insult you guys but do you really think the deer doesn’t know the difference between a fawn and a bunny?
@@willbreaker2056 Don't know. I just know the rabbit sounded like a fawn. It was the first thing I thought when I heard it screaming.
This seems the most reasonable guess. That's how deer act when protecting their young. People get attacked by deer like that occasionally.
When you root for the deer, want the rabbit to be safe and feel bad for the Hawk all at the same time.. ಠ‿ಠ
Exactly. 😳
