This is the hilarious moment a deer chased a tourist through a park while trying to snatch her shirt.

Footage shows the woman tugging her white blouse from the mouth of the mischievous Sika deer in Gansu, China.

After managing to retrieve the long-sleeved polo shirt, the holidaymaker sprinted away from the hoofed creature on August 20.

However, the stubborn animal continued to pursue her as her friend behind the camera laughed uncontrollably at the scene.

The filmer said: 'She was fine and eventually hid her shirt so the deer wouldn't snatch it away again.'

Deer are naturally inquisitive animals. They often approach people because they've learned humans might have food or interesting objects.
