Traveling in the Kansas Outback today revealed brand new twin white-tailed fawns--and their doting mother. These little ones were probably less than an hour old when we discovered them. As the doe licked them and encouraged them to follow her, she soon became agitated and we watched as she started chasing something away from hew newborn fawns. Although I was unable to get decent video, we watched her try to kick a raccoon with her front legs and ended up chasing the coon to a tree where it climbed for safety. The coon, which would be a threat to the little fawns, finally jumped from the tree and took off lickety split!
You just don't want to mess with a Doe White-tailed Deer when she has newborn!
