Newborn Fawn Takes First Steps,Melts Our Hearts

All mammals and birds are dependent on their mothers when first born but many times others help share this responsibility. Whether it be in a flock, pack or family, caring for the newborn becomes the priority of all those involved. It is a time when not only providing food and love and security for the baby is important but also the guidance toward becoming independent someday so that they also will be able to continue the cycle of perpetuation of their species.
