Their reddish coat with its white spots blends well with the forest where their mother hides them while she feeds nearby. If you should happen to find a fawn hidden in the forest, do not think that it is abandoned and try to take it home with you. Fawns usually cannot live without their mother's care. In fact, they aren't really lost or without a mother in most cases. The doe often will be nearby, watching until you leave her baby alone.
Many people think they are being kind by feeding the seemingly friendly deer but they are wrong.
Deer have sharp hooves and can strike swiftly and without warning. Also, human food makes deer and other animals sick and they often die from it. In Olympic National Park, black bears are always black in color. In other parts of the country, the black bears may be brown or cinnamon colored. Although there aren't any beggar bears alongside the roads in this park, you should not try to feed them if you are lucky enough to see them.
