A female deer has been spotted at the Hollywood Reservoir that appears to have a bone stuck in its mouth. And officials say the fight to help the animal won't be easy.
A female deer was recently spotted with a bone stuck in its mouth near the Hollywood Reservoir. Now, officials are working to try and help the animal.By all accounts, it's a terrible situation for the deer, and for California Fish and Wildlife Biologist Kevin Howells, "this is the first time I've ever seen anything like this."Howells believes the bone is a femur, but he can't tell from what animal.
"SUGGESTED: Man accused of tying up dog to pole on I-75 ahead of Hurricane Milton charged: ‘They will face the music’Howells said the last time he saw the deer was between two trees near the reservoir entrance. That was on Monday. Howells said the area is an incredibly difficult place to dart a deer, "because it takes about 10 minutes for the drug to take effect… enough time for the deer to scamper away and hide."Howells said, "She's wounded. She's injured.
