White-tailed deer fawns are the young offspring of white-tailed deer, which are native to North and South America. Fawns are born in the spring, typically in May or June, after a gestation period of around 6-7 months. At birth, fawns have a reddish-brown coat with white spots that help them blend into their surroundings and provide camouflage from predators. They are also born with a lack of scent, which helps them avoid detection by predators. Fawns are typically weaned by their mothers at around 2-3 months of age, although they may continue to nurse for up to 6 months. During this time, they are taught essential survival skills by their mothers, such as how to forage for food, avoid predators, and navigate their environment. White-tailed deer fawns are active and curious animals, often exploring their surroundings and playing with other fawns in their group. They are also known for their distinctive behavior of "frozen in place" when they sense danger, staying motionless to avoid detection. As they grow older, fawns will lose their spots and develop a more uniform coat of reddish-brown fur. They will eventually mature into adult white-tailed deer, reaching sexual maturity at around 1-1.5 years of age.
