Video shows extremely rare
view of a doe nursing her two
fawns. Although it is
difficult to see deer fighting
or mating, it is much rarer to
view a nursing doe. This is
because the does hide their
fawns as protection and are
very careful about exposing
them to predators.

The fawns are young and
speckled, but large enough to
run and jump. The first fawn
shown is one of the doe's
fawns.

The doe very carefully enters
the woods, where she left the
fawns. She looks around and
then calls the fawns. While
she nurses, she is alert
watching in all directions.
The fawns wag their tails as
they nurse as lambs and other
related animals do. Afterwards
she hides in the woods.

One chief means that deer use
to evade predation is that of
remaining motionless. This is
especially used by fawns. A
doe protecting her fawns is
said to be more dangerous than
even a big buck in rut.

Nearby was a rare piebald
deer, having speckled ears,
and two large bucks, which
leapt across a clearing.
