艾玛飓风横扫美国佛罗里达州消防强森(Nicholas Johnson)灾后清理时在一座毁损建筑物里发现一头鹿,这头鹿连日没喝水已经奄奄一息,最后猛灌了4瓶水才恢复活力,往树丛里头跑去。

强森和消防团队19日在大松礁岛勘察因艾玛飓风损坏的建筑物,撬开一面破损的墙壁竟发现一头鹿,「我不知道那一刻是我比较惊讶还是鹿比较惊讶。」这头鹿看起来精神状况很差,于是他将宝特瓶盖戳洞想喂水,没想到这头鹿喝了1瓶还不够,最后连续喝了4瓶水才恢复精神,从消防团队撬开的洞口跑走了。

惊人的不仅是这头鹿的饮水量,其实这头鹿是北美最小的「大松礁岛鹿」,全世界剩下不到1000只,因次要见到牠们的踪影也相当不容易。强森表示,很高兴不只帮助了居民也帮助野生动物,不过若是在野外遇到野生动物,还是先请求相关单位协助。

This morning a fire crew from Delray Beach Fire Department was surveying some damaged residential structures as part of a Strike Team and came across a weakened Key deer inside. "I don't know who was more startled the deer or me," said Lieutenant Nicholas Johnson, who is part of the Strike team but works for Broward Sheriff's Office Fire Rescue. "I am just glad to not only help the residents, but the wildlife as well." After four hand fed bottles of water, the buck gathered enough strength to run off. DISCLAIMER: This is an extraordinary circumstance involving a distressed deer and a trained first responder. Residents of the Florida Keys should contact Florida Fish and Wildlife if they come across a deer in distress.
