Video: Deer carnage at Saudi farm

Unknown predators, thought to be either hyenas or wolves, jumped over a 2.5-metre fence and killed several deer on a farm in Saudi Arabia, also making away with two preys, a newspaper in the Gulf kingdom reported on Tuesday.

The farm owner came to the farm in the central town of Shaqraa to feed the deer when he was shocked to see most of them were dead and bitten all over their bodies.

“They jumped over a fence with a height of 2.5 metres and killed many of my deer. They then carried two of them over the fence and fled,” Mubarak Mohammed said, quoted by the Arabic language daily Sabq.

“I  chased them at night and I was surprised by their shape. They walk like hyenas and bark like wolves. Some of them are even bigger than hyenas. I then decided to return home after they disappeared into the mountains.”
