Fawning on the Fourth…
Fawn [Photos by Kym Kemp]
One of our neighbors told us that the spots in a straight line indicate that the fawns were male. Scattered spots would be female. However, to our chagrin, when we looked this up, a biologist has debunked that theory. She says, “The only way to tell the sex of a fawn is to inspect between its legs where the important parts are – just like the doctor did when you were born.”

We’ll just call it gender neutral for now
Good one!!!😂🤣😂👍
Male fawns have “buttons” on their heads, and flatter top of their skulls. They don’t like it when you check between their legs!
D’OH!!
Neither do I…
Just because they have a specific plumbing does not mean it is Male of female. It may identify as one of the over 100 genders or gender neutral many of our esteemed academics claim there are.
What your born with is what you are.
Spot on. Male or female…
The true hermaphroditic humans do not exist, but pseudohermaphrodism does, where an individual has both male and female external genital organs, sometimes at the same time. Female embryos exposed to high levels of androgens (the male hormones) develop female internal reproductive organs but male external genitalia.
A call Wednesday from Jim Moore of Moore’s Processing, Farrell, explained, the deer is a hermaphrodite, with both male and female reproductive organs. Hermaphrodites are rare, but found in most species of animals.
But whatever the fawn is, it was cute and I am sure it’s mother loves it very much..
True. I’ve seen
4x4s mounting smaller buck all the time.
No need to look between those legs
Gotta imagine academia and the dorm rooms are erupting in outrage over this article
What’s that, about the trans Barbie?
I mean Bambi lol!
Speaking of Barbie, does anyone remember Ken, Bob, Tom and Poindexter? They we in my sisters original Barbie Game…
Extremely rare for a fawn not to fallow its mother.
I have a video from last Thursday. I found a newborn fawn on the ranch I caretake, only a few hours born. I found the mom nearby bedded down, the next day it was gone and mom too.
Later that morning on Friday 5 bucks grazed the field to let me know they were watching.
Way cool to see. #truestory
Soo cute
I know seeing the fawns tucked a smile in my pocket to enjoy when I had a moment.
