Gotta disagree.
She did good.
It was far too feeble when moving and seemed to be very weak from hunger.
It takes a LOT for a fawn to run up to a human and start to try and suckle their leg.
Plus, it’s a paint fawn so its mom may have been albino.
They do not fare well in the wild.
We have lots of them here and they usually are the first to get hit by cars because their vision sucks.
Couple years ago a doe was hit at the bottom of the mountain.
The next day, I saw a tiny fawn along the road, across from where she was laying.
I called the rescue people and they came out to catch it and found not only that fawn but its twin, hiding in brush, nearly starved.
We have deer behind our house all of the time and you are right that the fawns are pretty good about staying completely still while they are hiding in the bushes. Occasionally we have a lot of coyotes around and they are very capable of killing a doe. That could easily have happened in this case and the fawn got hungry enough to break its cover.
“... I called the rescue people... found not only that that fawn but its twin...”
And this is why I LOVE Salamander! :)
