Video: Buck Launches Rival into the Air

Fights between rival bucks can get deadly serious, but on occasion can take a surprising turn. In the below video, a no-nonsense sparring match between two males gets broken up as a third deer joins the conflict. The distraction allows one of the duelists to throw his opponent into the air, a feat of strength that quickly causes the two other deer to flee.

We’re not sure what they were thinking, but it’s probably something along the lines of “whoa.”
