Too Young For Swimming
While the rescuers, together with the fawn, were racing to their center, one of them started to nurture the young deer back to health.
They might not have been able to explain the strange behavior of attempting to swim in dangerous waters, but they saw the reason why the deer could not handle the waves – it was too young and small.
Can Deer Swim?
Deer are not considered aquatic animals but if the fawn had been older, it might have been able to brave the cold and currents. Most deer can hold their own in shallow water, and some in deep water, but if the current is too strong it may be difficult.
Had it not been for Storm and Mark walking along the beach on this particular day at the right time, who knows what would’ve happened to this poor little fawn.
