‘Leave fawns alone': Ohio Division of Wildlife issues another alert
**Related Video Above: Ohio troopers rescue baby deer from side of busy highway (Credit: Ohio State Highway Patrol) CLEVELAND (WJW) — The Ohio Division of Wildlife is continuing to ask people to go against their instinct and leave baby deer in place should they come upon any that appear abandoned. 'You took this from a 4-year-old': Parma grandfather's plea after flamingo stolen 'Please leave fawns alone,' the Division of Wildlife wrote in a Facebook post Monday, along with a photo similar to the one below: 'This is completely normal behavior for a deer fawn, and human intervention is unnecessary,' the division said in the post. This was a reiteration of a post from earlier this spring urging Ohioans to leave the little deer in peace. Rescue photos: Deer gets stuck on rocks behind Rock Hall Mother deer reportedly do not spend a lot of time with their nearly scentless offspring in order to keep fawns safe from predators. Often in cities, that means fawns appear to be left behind near people's homes and gardens, but their mothers will visit multiple times a day. If you believe a fawn has actually been abandoned or is in danger, reach out to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator in your area. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
