  • is it true that white tail allways have twins?

  • No it isn't. It is most common for them to have twins but they also have singles, triplets, quads and rarely, five at a time. Multiples are more likely to occur when using artificial insemination, just as in humans (Jon and Kate Plus 8) :-)

  • is triplets rare?

  • Not with deer, actually. Twins and triplets are commonplace.

  • awesome video...what is the mother seem to be chewing on...it looked like slimy fluids from giving birth that she was eating...is that true? if so, is there some sort of nutritional value to it?

  • Yes, Vette is eating the afterbirth. In the wild this is done so no trace is left behind for predators to find but it is, indeed, also packed with protien and other nutritious things that are beneficial to her.

  • @AtarahDerek why not, dears would be a much better pet than a dog. I also prefer social non meat eating animals. I don't have any pets though but they would make much better pets.

  • When you say Vette is yours, do you mean she's a pet or just that she stays in your area?

  • oh boy, triple trouble

  • omg when the other deer walked over i thought it was like a mountain lion lol.

  • how did she become a pet deer

    or trust you i know its possible but still

  • HEre come`s the Lion... LOOOOOOL...

  • soo cute ! but what is the gooey stuff at 0:40 ?

  • @starryeyedcowgrl

    The placenta also boosts her prolactin levels which helps he produce milk and helps her maternal behavior levels as well, if she doesn't she might reject the fawns.

  • they are so cute!

  • @AtarahDerek You are wrong, I have a pet deer and he is the sweetest ever! Go look up small pets on Animal world.com. You'll see what I mean. Go to the 'Small Mammal' tab, and scroll down 'till you see deer then click and read the WHOLE description!...
