A baby deer is also known as a fawn, a term used specifically for young deer. Contrary to popular belief, fawns are not left alone by their mothers for extended periods of time, but are instead hidden in nearby vegetation to protect them from predators. Other synonyms for a baby deer include a doeling, a button buck (male fawn), or a pricket (a male fawn with first budding horns). Additionally, some countries have their own unique terms for young deer, such as a "kid" in Australia and a "spike" in South Africa. Regardless of the name, baby deer are adorable creatures that bring joy to animal lovers worldwide.
