The term used for a young deer is a "fawn." Fawns are typically born in the spring and are known for their distinctive spots, which help them blend into their natural environment. They are generally cared for by their mothers, who provide them with nourishment through their milk. Fawns are born with the ability to walk shortly after birth, which is essential for their survival as they may need to elude predators. As they grow, they lose their spots and develop into adults known as "deer" or specifically "bucks" for males and "does" for females.
