Zoo administrators said the deer entered the zoo and then jumped 20 feet off the top of the high rock formation into the polar bear pool.

Polar bear Nuka explored the deer under the water before polar bear Koda joined in.

"The deer actually attacked the polar bears with its head, with its antlers and also it's front feet," said zoo director Barbara Baker.

The zoo said the bears never killed the deer, but the deer did suffer injuries.

"Sadly, the deer had to be euthanized," said Baker. "It was not injured by the polar bears themselves."
