Children who visited a country park in the hope of seeing Father Christmas' reindeer were left horrified when they saw several animals that had fallen through thin ice and drowned.
Visitors to Whitworth Hall Country Park, in County Durham, were greeted by the gruesome sight after at least eight deer and stags died during the big freeze.
Hoof marks could still be seen on the ice leading to where the deer broke through into the freezing lake.

I thought animals had a sense that would save them from doing stuff like this. I dont think Ive ever heard of animals falling through ice before.

Happens all the time. We get at least one deer get stuck in the ice every year at the lake house up in northeastern Pa.
Sometimes they get saved (gives the water rescue volly's practice) sometimes they don't. Usually happens at night when no one is around to witness it.
