7/14/2006: Horses and fawn

Undertoad · 07-14-2006, 12:04 PM

xoxoxoBruce gets these images and does a lot of work seeking out the source, but there is no source. A flickr page where the shots seem to have come from simply says "i do not know who took this - was sent to me by my dad".

xoB found a hunting forum where the pics were posted; when I went to the general index of threads there, the pics were posted a second time, this time saying that "These pics were taken near Indianapolis, apparently Momma Deer went out for lunch, and little Spotty latched onto the first warm bodies it could find. After the horses moved on, Momma Deer came back and retrieved Spotty, all ended well."

So if anyone has better source info, let us know. Meanwhile,

xoB also finds this unrelated, second horse and fawn image. And this one has a great story you will surely want to read.

Is there such a thing as deer-veal?

1) One of those horses is really badly overweight.

2) I love these interspecies maternal instinct type pics.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the word you are looking for is "in foal" or "pregnant."

Mares, unlike female humans, do not kick you in the head when you get these two terms confused.

Great pics and also a great story. Nature can be so cruelly kind. I hate to say this every friday, but I love fridays here in the Cellar. Thanks.

This is a horsey week in the cellar, isn't it? I've seen these before and still enjoy the tenderness they show. Glad the mom returned in time to lead her babe safely away...

(thanks for the welcome, barefoot serpent! actually I'm writing from New Mexico, but I have family near Ajaccio...)

Horses are cool in that most of them will hook up with any critter that's not agressive. Cats, dogs, sheep, goats, cows, geese, anything that shows affection will likely be welcomed, and anything not agressive, tolerated.

Of course with horses, like people, some are...uh....high strung.

Fawn's are some of nature's lovliest babies. Even the word 'fawn' (or, 'faun') is pretty (unless you name your daughter that. Then it becomes white-trashy)

I love animal babies.

thanks for the great story, too.

I'm mainly a city boy...haven't been around knocked up horsies much. Honest mistake. I'll watch my head just the same.

For some reason this reminds me of this story:

eastepp, THAT was funny! Dogs find Elk carcass and won't leave (from inside it) so she brings them home, elk carcass and all... I almost peed myself.

Welcome to the Cellar, eastepp.

That link was so bizarre, I had to check and see if it was the Onion.
