Swipe right to see a mother deer and her fawn on one of our camera traps at the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge. Does give birth to one to three fawns after about seven months. Fawns follow their mothers while foraging; deer mostly feed on leaves, shoots, flowers, fruits, shrubs, and forbs. Their young will remain with them until they are 6-18 months old.
The @PathofthePanther project is supported by the National Geographic Society, working to inspire the protection of the Florida Wildlife Corridor — the statewide network of public preserves and private farms, ranches and forests that our wildlife needs to survive. @insideNatGeo#keepflwild#floridawildlifecorridor#protectwildplaces#florida#wildlifecorridors#deer#cameratrap#wildlife#wildflorida
