Adventurer, Wildlife enthusiast, and popular Spanish Twitch streamer Frank Cuesta found himself in a perilous situation after being brutally attacked by a deer. The attack was so severe that the wildlife conservationist was swept off his feet. He was smashed against a rock after being headbutted by the deer.

The entire ordeal occurred as the streamer approached what appeared to be a mother deer with two fawns. The streamer seemed to be trying to get the deer to run away, shouting:

"Vamanos! (Let's go!)"

The fawn seemed to be wary of the adventurer and moved away from him. However, the adult deer charged Frank, pinning him against the rock behind him. The streamer seemed to take the deer with him to the ground, grabbing his antlers and tussling with it.

Netizens were shocked to see the act go down, with one user believing the streamer nearly lost his life while fighting the deer, said:

"The full video is so much worse. He was fighting for his life and he was losing."
