What is the typical behavior of a mother deer regarding feeding twin fawns?

• A. She never returns
• B. She remains near the fawns and returns to feed when safe
• C. She abandons them
• D. She relocates them

Answer: (B)

Mother deer stay in the general area near their hidden fawns and come back to nurse them when it’s safe. The fawns are often left alone for stretches so the doe can feed without drawing attention, but she remains nearby to provide milk and protection. With twins, she can nurse both without permanently relocating them, showing a pattern of nearby presence rather than abandonment. This is why the best choice is that she remains near the fawns and returns to feed when safe.
