Mother dear leave their fawns all the time to go and graze. Fawns are born without a scent. So if mom sticks around for too long, she could possibly attract some unwanted attention. But they always come back to check up on their babies every once in a while and nurse them.
Maybe the mother deer could smell that the dog had been sitting there, though couldn't smell that the dog was a docile sweetheart, and decided somewhere else _without_ dog-scent would be safer for her baby.
Yes, its very cute but you should really leave them alone. Mother deer do leave their fawns for hours at a time and the fawn curl up in a hiding spot like this one did. You shouldn't approach a baby deer unless its hurt, in immediate danger or if there are signs up distress. If its laying on its side instead of its belly that is a sign it hasn't been feed in quite a while, if it is crying and continues crying for several hours or if its wandering around aimlessly. If none of that happened, like here than you should really leave it alone.
I believe it has something to do with the mother rejecting it after traces of human scent are found in it, though I'm not entirely sure that it's true.
@@ReconCrusader Momma feeds them 1-2 times a day @ that stage..don't disturb them, this is what they doo till Momma comes back..then they drink, get cleaned up during/after, run around crazy, then tuck back in, resume rest, growing, stealthily not being noticeable..where is the OTHER fawn..? 🤔😉🤫
@@ktermniator4608 Mother deer abandon their fawns if they think its too dangerous to keep them. Being handled by a human isn't enough by itself, proven by several videos where humans rescue then reunite the baby with the mother but it could be a tipping point. If the mother just got chased by wolves for example then sees its fawn has been handled by humans, that could be the straw that broke the camels back so to speak. What I'm saying is that the mother _probably_ wouldn't abandon the fawn though it is possible.
@@Hughes17 I understood.. questioning the judgement of your "domestic human actions", their impact in a mother deer's nursery.. From my 20 years of walking with wild whitetail, bringing your dog close to a fawn very likely could have left you with a dead or maimed dog.. My doe Zoe killed a lone charging COYOTE @ age 2..was NOT a comfortable experience.. the coyote was turned into a throw rug..I'd never seen so much concentrated violence.
Baby deer are always so precious. Hope she was reunited with her mother.

The baby deer is cute.

My sister wants a baby deer
Looks more like a abondoned poor baby. Unless mother is around such baby would be in grave danger from predators. And would never be left alone.
Why didn't you pet it?
