Gruesome vid appears to show ‘Zombie deer’ with HUGE gaping wound
A GRUESOME video appears to show a “zombie” deer with a HUGE gaping wound.
Trail cam footage shows the severely injured beast walking in the wild forests of southern Illinois.
The clip, captured on October 18 this year and uploaded to YouTube, has received over 621,000 views.
By some miracle, the deer is seen walking with its internal organs completely exposed – leaving viewers puzzled as to how it remained alive.
Survival website MeatEater reports that the footage was taken by local hunter Chris Evans, who has since reached out to other landowners to find out the fate of the wounded beast.
He told the website: “Pretty wild thing to see a deer still walking after something like this.
“We are trying to see if we can find and kill him if he is still alive.”
