The deer is a gift to Paraguay President Mario Abdo

A rare event...a deer kills a soldier with a fatal headbutt in the garden of a presidential palace

A Paraguayan soldier was killed when he was attacked by a deer in the garden of the presidential palace near the capital, Asuncion.

The horns of that deer penetrated the body of the 42-year-old soldier Victor Isasi, and he died of his wounds, according to a statement issued by the Paraguayan army, and published by the British Broadcasting Corporation "BBC".

This type of deer does not live in Paraguay, but it is dedicated to the presidential palace in which the president of Lebanese origin, Mario Abdo Benitez, lives.

An army spokesman said the deer often live with other wild animals in a separate part of the palace garden, where people do not mix with them.

The cameras of the CCTV network captured the moment the soldier approached the deer, before the latter attacked and injured him.

An army spokesman said: "Security cameras captured the moments of the soldier entering the sector where these animals are isolated, and there the soldier came with a movement to raise his hand, which provoked the deer's reaction, and it attacked him immediately."

The attacking deer belongs to the spotted deer family, which was brought from India, Frederick Bauer, director of the wildlife unit at the Ministry of Environment, told local media.

The park area of ​​the Presidential Palace in Paraguay is about 10 hectares, and many species of animals live on it.

It is noteworthy that a recent study indicated the transmission of the Corona virus to deer in the recent period in some countries, such as the United States of America.

According to this study, highlighted by the American NBC News website, the Corona virus has transmitted from humans to wild deer in a number of American states, which may cause worrying developments regarding the emergence of new mutants that may be transmitted from animals to humans at a later time.
