Have you ever had a deer in your backyard? If you live in the Rocky Mountain West and are lucky enough to have a yard, then we bet you probably have. It's usually a pretty peaceful and beautiful experience unless you're trying to keep them out of your garden. Or a bear shows up and kills the deer.
This video, filmed by a couple in Colorado Springs, Colorado in the summer of 2015, captures the disturbing moment that a bear overcomes and slowly kills a deer in a suburban backyard. On one hand, it is a chance to see the inner workings of nature up close, and on the other hand, it's a bizarre incursion of the wilderness into civilization in that it's not the sort of thing you see in your backyard very often.
Perhaps most disturbing is the wounded creature's call, uncanny because it almost sounds human. Maybe that's just because fear and pain sound the same in any language and any tongue.
