A rare gorgeous day in November means a packed National Zoo, and visitors got quite a show today when a baby deer fell into the lion pen. YouTube user crossmax1084 caught it all on tape digital video.

Zoo officials were able to get the lionesses out of the pen and rescue the deer, but NBC4 is reporting that its injuries were too serious and it was put down.

Hat tip to @MikePanetta for initially tweeting this.
