Camouflage

White spots on a brown coat can help fawns blend with shadows and dappled light in the forest,
The spot pattern is random and quite different for each fawn. One researcher found the number of spots, even in twins can vary from 100 to more than 300.

PHOTO: Watched the doe put down her fawn next to a log and then wondered away making herself quite visible.
