Stag Survives Fall Down a Freezing Waterfall, Twice in Austria

Stag Survives Fall Down a Freezing Waterfall, Twice in Austria by GoHUNTn TeamThis is one strong stag.
In the mountain resort of Dienten am Hochkonig in Austria, a stag got trapped in a river at the top of a waterfall while patrolling his territory and protecting his herd. He was trapped in the river, and freed himself, but he wasn't safe.

He fell down the waterfall.

Surviving the initial fall, rescue workers came to winch the stag out of the falls, only to have the stag slip back into the frigid water, taking two men with him.

Luckily the stag and the men were okay after the incident and expected to make a full recovery, according to Metro.co.uk. –Brian McClintock
