A Fawn in the spring 鹿の赤ちゃん(春) " This pic was taken at Split Rock Lighthouse from a North Shore* vacation we took a few years ago." (May 26, 2011, Carole) Check out a fawn, which we spotted on October 29, 2011; the fawn doesn't have white spots. How long do white tail deer fawns keep their spots? | Fun Deer Facts for Kids
For more info on White-tailed Deer: The fawns are reddish-brown at birth with white spots, that help camouflage them from predators. They are weaned at about six weeks.
春には、鹿の赤ちゃんは、白い斑点を散らした赤褐色の毛（外敵からの保護だそうです）で覆われていますが、冬までには、白い斑点は、なくなってしまうそうです。
