Learn the real story about wildlife rehabilition and fawns in the article ”Bambis or not, volunteer cares for 8 fawns” from the Dallas Morning News online.  

According to the article, a small herd of eight bright-eyed fawns are adapting to the world at South Plains Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and being cared for by center volunteer Barry Johnson.

Wildlife center founder Carol Lee suspects some of the fawns may have been brought to the center as a result of what she calls the “Bambi myth.”

“People see a deer fawn along the road or out in the middle of a field, and erroneously believe they are orphaned,” she said. View the article.
