LA county wildlife officials are looking for a mamma deer with a femur stuck in her mouth.

How did a deer get a femur bone far enough in her mouth to get stuck? And why?

I hope they find her, but still - that's a scary thought that deer might be evolving to be omnivorous.

1. She was probably after the minerals in the bone

Where are the dart guns? I hope they can save her, and the fawn.

2. It wouldn't be a first.

White-tail deer have been known to knock low nests out of trees to eat the baby birds. (As I type this there are probably 4 or 5 white-tails in my yard.)

A femur does seem a little excessive though....

3. Saw this on the news yesterday, it's heartbreaking. She will be starving.

4. They still haven't found her .
