It’s always heartwarming to see different kinds of animals looking after each other. Sometimes an animal’s protective instincts kick in even towards a totally different species. That was the case recently, when a group of horses were seen babysitting a young fawn as she waited for her mother.
She noticed the fawn was on its own with no mother in sight, and it appeared that three horses, part of the ranch, were looking after her.
The priceless photos show the horses nuzzling the tiny animal, keeping it safe.
Kally said the horses were “being protective from predators.”
It’s often a problem when well-intentioned people try to save a seemingly-orphaned fawn, making it even more difficult for them to reunite with their mom.
So Kally did the right thing, leaving things alone, and sure enough the mother deer came back to pick up her young, Kally reported the next day.
It’s a happy ending, all thanks to three very responsible horses who looked after her for the afternoon.
