I'm thinking more.. One day my local petting zoo will include tame deer. And when that day comes, I shall buy a life time pass.While I share that sentiment, petting a new fawn means it’s mom abandoning it and the predators catching its scent. So we need to think about this lil guy/girl
By all that is holy in this world and the next, this I swear;
I WILL ONE DAY PET A FAWN!!
It's too cute. I can't. Help.
Not trying to argue, but all of the scientific research says that isn't true. The mother might be timid around the fawn at first, but then it will just clean it. Researchers regularly handle fawns and the mother accepts them back.While I share that sentiment, petting a new fawn means it’s mom abandoning it and the predators catching its scent. So we need to think about this lil guy/girl
I love you.
It’s from my minimalist period:
Your minimalist period is monumentally uncreative

I don't care what motivated her, the hole punch pic was interesting and a much better addition to the thread than her lazy first 'effort'I'm getting a "screw you" vibe from this.Love!
I wasn’t referring to being fresh out of their mommy. Trust me I saw two of them being born in this hidden area outside of our office, even the nurses where timing momma deer’s contraction and how they walk funny when they are born. And how she loves them. However, they are born without a scent.
And there’s literature out there to educate us that when momma deer goes to get something to eat, leaving her fawns alone, do not approach baby deer because female deer might not come back if she smells us. Also if any smaller animal approaches a fawn with momma deer around, the deer would whoop its ass. True story.
There was something else to see?So you saw that too huh?
Evokes the sadness of an only childhood being lived aged 40.
Mommy will come back. I had 3 in a few years born in my yard. mom always came back. I did have to pick one up as it was in the street. Then went on happily ever after.Spring also means the arrival of fawns where I live. Caught this dude outside of my office waiting for it’s mommy View attachment 2336567
