In this week’s Village Wild video series, presented by Dietrich Law, we’re taking a trip to Virginia Safari Park for a wild moment you won’t believe!
Captured by TikTok user Jenny Abshire (@jennymabs), the video shows a woman feeding an ostrich through her car window when things take an unexpected turn.
Just as the ostrich unknowingly leans in for a snack, a hungry deer comes charging in, ramming the ostrich out of the way and sending it flying. The passengers in the vehicle were startled but soon found themselves laughing at the surprising scene.
After the ostrich goes flying, the deer’s head, complete with its big antlers, pops up with the most hilarious expression on its face, as if proudly claiming victory.
While no one was hurt in the incident, the car’s side mirror didn’t fare so well, cracking from the force. The ostrich, however, walked away unharmed and unfazed.
This hilarious encounter has since gone viral, racking up over 4 million likes and more than a million shares on TikTok since it was posted on October 1, 2024.
