You must have come across various wild animal rescue operation videos and images on the internet. Despite the fact that animals are physically stronger than people, there are still some situations and places in this world where the brute creations lack the necessary ability to get rid of it. And to get rid of it, they do need human help.

In one such incident, a man in the United States recently stepped up to help wildlife when Hurricane Ian hit Florida earlier this week. Speaking to Wesh news, Owen Fletcher said he and his roommates rescued a baby deer in distress as Hurricane Ian slammed Orlando with flooding rains.

Mr Fletcher, who lives off of University Boulevard, said that the baby deer was struggling to stay above water. He and his roommates then brought her onto their balcony to keep her safe. 

When the group were evacuated from their apartment building, they then brought the deer with them to Lake Nona. They now intend to release the deer baby into the wild, Mr Fletcher said as per Wesh news
