Florida Lifeguards Rescue Struggling Deer From Atlantic Ocean

FLAGLER BEACH, FLORIDA, JUL 8 – Lifeguards used human rescue techniques to save a deer stranded in ocean currents for 90 minutes, a rare incident during the busy holiday weekend, experts said.

  • Two Flagler Beach lifeguards came to the aid of a deer found fighting to stay afloat in the ocean on Sunday around 1:30 p.m.
  • The deer may have entered the water to flee from a disturbance caused by the celebrations surrounding the Fourth of July weekend, although officials are still uncertain of the exact reason.
  • After spending about an hour and a half in rough water, the deer was safely brought to shore by lifeguards who applied rescue methods typically used for humans.
  • James Kroll said, "It could've taken to the water to get away from something," and Stephen Cox praised lifeguards’ concern for public safety and the environment.
  • The rescue marked a first-time experience for lifeguards, and wildlife officials confirmed the deer was healthy enough to be safely released back into the wild.
