Whitetail Spring<<Back |
|||||||
Item # TI2062 ...... Winter 2005 A whitetail doe tenderly cleans her week-old fawn as the fawn nurses. The mother deer covers her newborn with her own saliva, which imprints the fawn to the mother. By the time the fawn is just 4 hours old, it is able to follow after the mother .After the fawn has been nursed and groomed, mother is free to seek out a secure hiding place. The fawn will curl up on the ground and remain motionless. Hundreds of white spots along the fawn?s coat will allow it to blend in with the sun-dappled leaves on the forest floor. The mother deer keeps her distance from the hiding fawn to insure her presence does not draw attention to the youngster. She may be out of sight of the little fawn, but she is usually within hearing distance. If you ever happen to discover a fawn in the wild, DO NOT TOUCH IT. LEAVE IT BE ! approx size 9"w x 8 1/2"h |
