White Tail Deer

White Tail Deer - Fawn
Photographs of Nature
Nature Photography by Gary D.Tonhouse

Fawns are reddish-brown at birth with white spots that help camouflage them. They can walk at birth and forage for food a couple of days later. They are weaned at about six weeks. The mother will leave her fawns well-hidden for hours at a time while she feeds. If she has more than one fawn, she will hide them in separate places. While they are waiting for their mother to return, the fawns will lay on the ground with their heads and necks stretched out flat on the ground. This makes it harder for predators to find them. Female fawns may stay with their mother for two years, males usually leave after a year.
