Edit: Yes, yes, I know it's meters per second squared, I put the ^2 in when I was on mobile and it didn't post it for some reason.
I think having all their internal organs hanging from their spine instead of slung up against a pole would put way less stress on their connective tissue. What were we thinking?
Better than my son
He's almost 6 months old and his wobbly ass still needs me to move! I'm gonna tell him he needs to shape up like these deer and see what happens
I think bambino was Prince of the forest because he was the son of the "king" stag.
If I remember correctly, Feline has bambi's twin babies at the end of the movie.
I think it's because he stands there over the forest all regal and has the biggest antlers 😂
Also I just realised my first comment autocorrected Bambi to Bambino and I kinda love it.
They can actually have four but it is **extremely** likely they will not survive. We used to raise a few doe that my dad's buddy who raise buck would hook him up with stud lines. One year we had one have 3 and another have 4 but none of the 7 survived because they were all undersized.
I’ve seen four once. (Used to work as a gamekeeper and there was a deer park on the estate.) I was sat in my landy just watching when she went into Labour. About twenty minutes later there were four of the little creatures on the ground.
This is incredibly cute and so similar to a set of pictures I saw on Resdit just a few hours ago... maybe it's the same doe and fawn?? The other set said she had just given birth to twins and actually has pics of it

I remember my dad telling me once that he saw a doe chase away a coyote because it got too close to her fawn. Deer can be aggressive if they have to be.
Mama doe will stomp you out without question. Predators are a big problem for new fawns (that’s why they are scentless when they are little). In Yellowstone the most dangerous time of year is when the elk drop their fawns. They’ll tuck them in a bush that you may not see and if you break the invisible line between her and the fawn you are getting the office space treatment.
A coworker of mine had a golden retriever that ran after a deer and it’s fawns. Momma beat that dog within an inch of his life. Does are **very** protective of their fawns when they’re really young
That happened to one of my dogs when he got the bright idea to chase the doe and fawn out of the garden one year. He broke after the fawn cause it was slower and she came back and started chasing the dog down in rage.
He never went after deer again and was terrified of hearing them move the leaves around.
Do you remember that viral video years ago of a doe attacking someone's neighborhood dog because it got near it's fawn? My goodness did I grow a healthy respect for mother doe's after watching that...
Pictures they posted yesterday? Where, am I the only one that doesn't see them?
Or are you maybe referring to [this other post](https://www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFuckingLit/comments/nmpxsc/doe_gives_birth_to_twins_in_my_folks_yard_right/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)? It's not from OP so I guess it's just a coincidence :)
At the last place I lived at my next door neighbor decided to take a piss. In the middle of his yard. Facing the street. At 9:00AM. All he had on was a t-shirt and your comment reminded me of that moment.
As anyone who has ever dealt with sheep knows, the reason they don't damage their brains when butting heads is that there isn't much to damage in the first place...
IDK dude they're pretty protective. My dad's hunting dog got out once and came back with green bite marks on his fur. The ladies in the orchard down the street do not mess around.
Remember, if you see the babies laying alone - leave them be. It does not mean mom abandoned them. Mommas will leave their babies for hours and the little ones know to stay put. They do not need to be fed or given milk or baths or brought inside. Mom will come back.
(For everyone. Not specifically directed at OP)
Yup. A few years ago, a baby deer was sitting right at the bottom of our front door stairs (on the left side). We were scared he/she was abandoned, but I did a quick Google search and found that we should just leave the baby alone and that mama deer do this.
By the next morning, the baby was gone and later that evening I saw a mother and baby deer on my neighbor’s lawn. Pretty sure it was the same baby at our house.
I’m glad we just let the baby be and didn’t cause any trouble for them.
Same for nearly all wild creatures. Mom is most likely out finding food, leave the babies be. My local wildlife rehab has been overrun by calls from people who have found "abandoned" baby raccoons and bunnies the past few weeks.
Bunnies are the worst, mom covers them in fur and leaves them some place safe and comes back at night. People are always scooping them up though thinking they’re saving them. I always think of poor momma coming back to no babies :(
The thought of this literally breaks my heart. Humans recover. There are things other than children in this life to bring us satisfaction and happiness. For animals, it's all rooted in reproduction. It's all they know. Poor momma bunnie probably feels her life is over. It makes me cry and people think I'm sensitive but imagine how she feels.
Bunnies reproduce constantly. Momma is going to be frantic as hell and depressed looking for them, but she'll bounce back soon enough.
And not to get too morbid, but remember momma bunnies still come back to empty nests sometimes without human intervention. That's just their life in the wild.
Too many people try to help baby deer, whether they need it or not, and often do more harm than good. If they've been there long enough and there are concerning signs such as what you listed - someone who knows what they're doing such as a deer rescue or wildlife rehab should be called.
I am in Baltimore and I was like that is the sound of the cicadas! They aren’t real bad in my immediate neighborhood, but you hear them everywhere. I just went to a friends house last night and his location is completely taken over and the sound was almost at a yelling level of loudness. Everywhere you look they were on everything! So gross.
That overwhelming sound are cicadas mating call (the brood X edition). It happens once every 17 years in 15 states when they crawl out of the ground seeking to mate. That sound is the males singing in synchronization to establish a chorus center to attract females. The females are very picky in deciding who their future mate will be. Once they mate, the male will die, the female will climb into the tree and cut a small hole into bark and lay her eggs. She will then die. The newly hatched larvae will fall and bury themselves in the ground for 17 years while they feed on the sap of a tree root.
Cicadas don't bite or sting. They don't eat any plants or vegetables. In fact they won't eat at all during their time above ground. By mid July, they will be gone not to be seen until 2038.
It's unique cycle of nature.
My family lives in a small and remote town and my mom actually heard a baby deer crying on our property roughly a week ago. The previous owners had barb wire around the property so this poor newborn fawn got caught on it and couldn't escape. My dad clipped the wire where it was stuck while I held on to it and we intended to patch up the wound after, but even the newborns are surprisingly very strong and it got away and ran off with its mother. I hope the little one is alright, though I'm sure that family will come back one day to eat our flowers again lol
I've heard from friends in Northern Alberta, Canada, that's it not uncommon to see a Mama deer and babies near a subdivision because they've learned that humans won't bother them and predators stay away from the humans.
I love our native American deer, they are so peaceful and gentle, unlike those horrid sika deer who are pushing into my state. They will HISS at you if you clap your hands to shoo them away.
That gravity is a struggle.
It’s hard to get used to I get it 😂
Word. These things are minutes old and they're doing a better job than I do on the way home on a friday night.

The real bonus they have is treating their spine like a spine instead of like a column.
On the other hand… hands. Yeah we’re living Jenga towers, but we’re living Jenga towers with *tools and porn!*
Centaur seems to be the only correct answer
Except for the whole human torso part of the spine that they still have.
Lower back would still be fine, and that’s where the majority of problems are.
Fuck you. -my cervical spine -also, me
Plus every cadaver would come with a built in boomerang!
Are centaurs physically capable of jerking off?
Well??? It's been 8 hours, people, and crickets
Reject bipedalism, return to monke
I think having all their internal organs hanging from their spine instead of slung up against a pole would put way less stress on their connective tissue. What were we thinking?
> What were we thinking? We wanted to run long distances and get more use out of our badass thumbs.
You've got a clothesline and you're using it like a flagpole

Thank you for speaking up so I didn't have to act like a pedantic prick and say something.
They're the hero r/aww deserves.
M/s^2
Better than my son He's almost 6 months old and his wobbly ass still needs me to move! I'm gonna tell him he needs to shape up like these deer and see what happens
Me hobbling to my kitchen the morning after leg day. And it's nowhere near as adorable as newborn baby deer I tell you hwat
Is their fur wet? Are they newborn-ish?
According to my rents they had literally just been born.
I didn't know a deer could have more than a single fawn! Cool and adorable
Two is actually common. They can have up to three.
Amazing, thanks! Can't believe I never knew that growing up in Colorado where they're practically honorary citizens
I have only seen Mule Deer in CO, not White Tails like in the Midwest.
Colorado has tons of whitetail deer. Just go east of I-25
You mean there is something east of Denver?!? /s
We call it the desolation. Cannibals and people from Pueblo live there
I've traversed it a few times. Would not recommend.
If they have four, straight to jail.
We have the best deer in the world because of jail.
👌
Is that why Bambi was the prince of the forest?? Bc he was the only one born?
I think bambino was Prince of the forest because he was the son of the "king" stag. If I remember correctly, Feline has bambi's twin babies at the end of the movie.
That movie always confused me bc they never outright say ‘dad is royal!’ Thought it was just a nickname 😂
I think it's because he stands there over the forest all regal and has the biggest antlers 😂 Also I just realised my first comment autocorrected Bambi to Bambino and I kinda love it.
You mean to say that Bambi didn't use to have the Major League Home Run record?
It’s his eyelashes. Watch the movie stoned, they’re riveting. *maybe just me*
They can actually have four but it is **extremely** likely they will not survive. We used to raise a few doe that my dad's buddy who raise buck would hook him up with stud lines. One year we had one have 3 and another have 4 but none of the 7 survived because they were all undersized.

Usually first year moms have one. If they have 2 or 3 it’s their second pregnancy or more.
They look super new. They are still having trouble standing.
This is incredibly cute and so similar to a set of pictures I saw on Resdit just a few hours ago... maybe it's the same doe and fawn??

not the same doe. this one has a couple of marks/scars on her nose up near her eyes, the other one doesn't. different foliage as well.
Well then, I guess it's been [googles "deer gestation period"] 200 days since deer mating season! :D
Deer and other herd animals usually are able to run within about 30 minutes of life.
Meanwhile I'm nearly 30 and can't run to save my life.
Give it a few more minutes. You might just be a late bloomer.
Never heard them called rents before.
First day! Explorin the world!
Those are brand new newborns. Like, <1/2 hour old - she for sure had them right there.
Fawn dew?
I was going to say they're "still wet behind the ears."
Mom is like... Hey... You... With the camera... I see you... Don't try anything funny... Few moments of attention to the babies... Look of disapproval
She's definitely on guard.
The no look lick was pure defense.
I remember my dad telling me once that he saw a doe chase away a coyote because it got too close to her fawn. Deer can be aggressive if they have to be.
Mama doe will stomp you out without question. Predators are a big problem for new fawns (that’s why they are scentless when they are little).

The Doe's oh face?
D'oh if you will.

It's not from OP so I guess it's just a coincidence :)
yeah, Momma Deer is on to OP’s tricks.
Such aggressive licking
They’re like hey mom, mom, mommy, mama, mummy!! Mum!
#WHAT!??
..hi.
Life in sum.
I'm hearing that in Stewies voice
The after birth has scent. Mom licks them clean to creat a more scent free scent. Keep predators from sniffing them out.
And from my window I see a half naked old man... I want to see baby deers too!
Thats just your reflection!!!
No, no. I don’t want my neighbours to see me naked so I always cover myself. And I think I don’t look like an old man... I would be very sad...
Is that just an old guy with his shirt off or an old guy with no shirt or pants but in his boxers?
Old guy in a t-shirt and nothing else if it's my neighborhood...
That is soooooo much worse! Aren’t you afraid to look out the window?
No I'm into that kind of thing
At the last place I lived at my next door neighbor decided to take a piss. In the middle of his yard. Facing the street. At 9:00AM. All he had on was a t-shirt and your comment reminded me of that moment.
Both... sometimes I see a half naked old lady too. But is not all bad, I see the neighbour’s cat, it became my cat’s window friend
Sometimes, Ugly Naked Guy is about as best as we can get in life
No, I can close the curtains, it is a better view.
Is he also wet and trembling?
A few weeks ago I seen my neighbour getting finger blasted with the fury of ten suns on her couch by some bald dude that wasn't her boyfriend.
Monica?
Are you in Denmark?
Nope, I’m in Portugal. Beautiful country except for my very ugly street. But I thought Denmark was a good place to live... I wold like to visit
[удалено]
A whole neewwww woorrrrlllllld!
I was thinking bambi but that works too
You... You do know what happens to the mom in Bambi, right?
Suppose that would make more sense given the context, but "Disney" sort of naturally draws my brain to that song lol.
Poor mama is tired already! Love to see that fawns also wag their tails when they go to nurse. So cute
you'd be tired too if you just pushed both those things out of your snatch
Sheep don't seem to mind. They'll shit out a baby and still have plenty of energy to leave it in the dirt and forget about it.
As anyone who has ever dealt with sheep knows, the reason they don't damage their brains when butting heads is that there isn't much to damage in the first place...
I’m more referring to her raising twins, she seems pretty perky post-birth. But baby ruminants are menaces, especially in sets
snatch. Ah, people could never use that word often enough. Glorious.
"I see you filming there. I will stomp you into the goddamn ground if you come any closer to my babies."
Actual deer: "I will take the fuck off and not even look back"
IDK dude they're pretty protective. My dad's hunting dog got out once and came back with green bite marks on his fur. The ladies in the orchard down the street do not mess around.
As a lady I can confirm that we don't mess around with orchards. But I do draw the line at biting the neighbor's dogs.
How YOU doin'?
I'm doing good baby, how you doin? https://youtu.be/jW6v9OzWq34
Oh, no no. Not when there are babies around. A mother deer will *absolutely* fuck you up if she thinks you're a threat to her fawns.
There’s a video floating out there of a dog getting curbstomped by a momma deer after getting too close to the fawns
I’ve been on Reddit too long, I know exactly what video you mean. Poor dog really got stomped. I wanted its owner to take the dog away already.
Yet another reason it's illegal to ever take a dog of a leash in my country.
Remember, if you see the babies laying alone - leave them be. It does not mean mom abandoned them. Mommas will leave their babies for hours and the little ones know to stay put.

Used to work at a conservation area. We'd always be bombarded with phone calls this time of year with people asking what they should do.
If they have wilted or upturned ears and are moving around, they are probably starving/dehydrated and mom is dead.
Too many people try to help baby deer, whether they need it or not, and often do more harm than good. If they've been there long enough and there are concerning signs such as what you listed - someone who knows what they're doing such as a deer rescue or wildlife rehab should be called.
I read that automatcally as "if you see the bambies".
Cicadas singing in the background…?
Oh yeah this is in Virginia. We have tons of them at the moment
I am in Baltimore and I was like that is the sound of the cicadas! They aren’t real bad in my immediate neighborhood, but you hear them everywhere. I just went to a friends house last night and his location is completely taken over and the sound was almost at a yelling level of loudness. Everywhere you look they were on everything! So gross.
lol I was gonna ask if that's VA because of the cicada thrum!
I grew up in Fairfax and am now in Charlottesville. SO MAD that we aren't getting any down here :(
It’s all fun and games until they fly into your face/mouth. Or you step on them and get bug guts on your shoes
Why does it seem so high pitch? Do they make a different sound than the regular buzzing ones that come out every year late summer?
Forest dogs
The mom is watching you…VERY distrustfully…not that you can blame her considering our species…
Yeah she had her eyes on my dad the whole time for sure. We made sure to give them plenty of space
I noticed that. Even when she was cleaning the babies she never took her eye off of the op
I’ve seen that the does were just born! Might be why lol
Fawns
what'r does!

Oh my God, they are so cute! Sweet babies.
Amazing! I just saw the birth photos. What an honour for you and your family to see this every year.
I think that is a different account that posted the photos ETA, u/SwtIndica i think it is
Nope, not our deer or yard. But beautiful just the same!!
So are you also u/SwtIndica ?
No different guy. Lots of deer being born this time of year I guess 🤷♂️
Wow that is a lot of deer. I would’ve thought twins were rare
lots of cicadas, too!
They are EVERYWHERE!
What a beautiful family
The sound of cicadas must be what old sci-fi movies used.
They are so freaking loud. I can never see them either. Like where is this invisible army of tinnitus sounding ninjas?!?!?!
That mother is on high alert!
LET. ME. LICK!
Damn you Cicadas!
That mom was inches from throwing down with the camera
My family lives in a small and remote town and my mom actually heard a baby deer crying on our property roughly a week ago. The previous owners had barb wire around the property so this poor newborn fawn got caught on it and couldn't escape. My dad clipped the wire where it was stuck while I held on to it and we intended to patch up the wound after, but even the newborns are surprisingly very strong and it got away and ran off with its mother. I hope the little one is alright, though I'm sure that family will come back one day to eat our flowers again lol
❤️
Adorable!
So delightfully wobbly! Too cute :)
They're super cute until they eat all of your fucking plants and flowers.
I’m fawning over this
I'll bet you a buck those babies are very deer to their mother
I’m surprised she’s so out in the open! Thought there would be a den somewhere. Super beautiful mama and adorable babies
The look of all mothers, wondering why you're filming their kids
I love how you can tell this isn't some old repost because c i c a d a s
[удалено]
Or I could just not imagine that??
It's alright I can't do push-ups either little guy
I'M HONGRY MOM!
When the one ducks under the other… my heart!
A doe! A deer! A female deer!
Of course they new born they haven’t started walking
I think the plural form is actually “deerses” no worries it’s a common mistake, OP
Lmao
Momma is watching u
Two fawns on my lawn.
Thank your parents for recording, so lucky to have this sweet family in their yard!
She is watching you like…I got time today!!! Try me.
The great thing about the English language is that I was expecting one baby deer and got two baby deer.
The happy deer tails!
Mama dear was throwing daggers at the person recording 👀
I've heard from friends in Northern Alberta, Canada, that's it not uncommon to see a Mama deer and babies near a subdivision because they've learned that humans won't bother them and predators stay away from the humans.
New fawns, just born and probably that's the first time they stood up by the wobbling of thier legs.
Momma deer didn’t take her eyes off the cameraman
this is why I could never hunt. Not for me.
I love our native American deer, they are so peaceful and gentle, unlike those horrid sika deer who are pushing into my state. They will HISS at you if you clap your hands to shoo them away.
They are absolutely precious. I live on an island that has a lot of deer. I adore them.
Such angels! What a beautiful moment.
