A Mother deer with baby fawns

Question

We just came back from camping and saw a mother deer with 2 baby fawns she had tufts of fur missing and was limping does anyone know what this could be and if she will be okay or not.

Answer 1

There is a very good possibility that she was attacked by a cougar/mountain lion or even a black bear and was able to escape as deer are a stable for the diet of these tow animal. Female deer/mother deer are fierce fighters which most people don't realize and they will defend their babies at all costs. If a mountain lion tried to attack one of her babies, it would have fought back and this is what may have taken place. I am very happy that she is alive despite the missing fur and the limp as she will heal up with enough time.

Answer 2

Just to make sure that she will be okay call the professionals to help.

Answer 3

She probably got injured defending the fawns from something
