So this gentleman rescued and released a baby fawn with an injured leg in 2015. The video just melted me. The second video is of the mother deer and her twins still visiting his farm.
A deer doe abandoned one of her twin fawns, the fawn had injured leg and could not keep up with the mother. I do not support keeping wild animals as a pets, but this was special situation. The baby deer was healed and released back to her real mother. Update: The doe and two her fawns is still around, we seen them through the summer and the autumn.
The bears and wolves in the video are incredible. I’d love to know where he lives. His youtube page says his home is planet earth and more specifically the United States. I’m guessing Alaska? His entire page is full of amazing animal stories.
If you click through to YouTube on the first video, he has more videos of raising the fawn. He really did a good job. We have warnings every spring not to think fawns are abandoned because they are alone – Does leave them all day and come back at night. This was not the case and his efforts to reintroduce this fawn to the wild are nothing but heroic.
Those who follow me on the book of faces might have seen the video of the Cat and the Grizzly eating daisies. Same guy.
