A young deer is called a fawn. Typically born in the spring, fawns are characterized by their spotted coats, which help them blend into their surroundings and avoid predators. They usually weigh between four to eight pounds at birth and are entirely dependent on their mothers for nourishment and protection during their early stages of life. Fawns are known for their playful behavior and are often seen grazing alongside their mothers. As they grow, they gradually lose their spots and develop into adult deer, exhibiting behaviors essential for survival in the wild.
