Fawns are the young of white-tailed deer, born in late spring with a reddish-brown coat dotted with white spots for camouflage among dappled forest light. By their first summer, these spots begin to fade, and the fawn's slender legs—comically long and graceful—support a growing body designed for speed and agility. A fawn's alert posture, like the one depicted here, is a natural defense: they rely on stillness and keen senses to detect danger before bounding away into the underbrush.
