Many a wild cat, fox, or other equally strong animalhas got the worst of a fight with a mother deer; and so, un-less they find a good opportunity to get hold of the littlefawn without the mother noticing their movements, theywill not always even try. But there is nothing so difficult as to find the hiding-place of a fawn without the mother knowing it. She isprobably watching long before the enemy even knows sheis near, and she does not allow anyone to approach thelittle one without her being there first. All of which justshows what a very good mother she is. 16 * ,.
