Droopyor even sagging breasts.
I like that!


When I see a family group of does and fawns, it usually consists of two adults and 3-4 fawns. Usually one of the adults is much larger, she is the matriarch. If you see multiple doe units in a field feeding in close proximity, the most senior ranking doe will be treated with the most respect by the other deer. They are mostly related to each other, all of them.
