A deer is born by live birth. The mother deer will nurse the fawn until it can eat solid food, when the fawn is old enough to follow its mother (at about a month old), the mother deer will show the fawn where to go get food, water and by example will teach it what to fear.

Where does it live? And what are some of it's habits?
Whitetail deer habitat is hard to define, simply because they are extremely adaptable and have been found everywhere from swamp to desert, plains to mountains, Florida to Canada. They often thrive near towns and cities, sometimes to the point of becoming pests and hazards to the humans with whom they share the land.
Naturally, a whitetail's feeding habits, preferred foods, and schedule vary with the changing seasons. They will browse green leaves and grasses, munch on corn, feed on acorns, pluck fruit from trees, and even raid local flowerbeds if something the landscaper planted catches their eye.

Because the deer have so many enemies, they must be alert, relying on their keen senses of sight, smell and hearing to warn them of impending danger. Some of the predators of the deer are; the mountain lion, wolf and coyotes. The whitetail deer will try and flee before it has to defend itself. If a deer attacks, it will use its hooves, or antlers. Rumor has it that they also can bite.
