BUXTON, N.C. – A 33-year-old Virginia Beach man rescued a young deer from the ocean.
According to PilotOnline.com surfer Tyler Balak noticed something in the water. As he got closer he eventually realized it was a deer.
The deer appeared to be struggling to keep its head above the water, and Balak paddled over to rescue it, according to the report.
The deer has since been rehabilitated and released into the wild.
It’s unclear why it ended up in the ocean in the first place.
Both Tyler and Jenn Balak posted photos of the rescue on Instagram.
