A
very eventful day around here... A once in many lifetimes experience! I
saw this lil' feller run out in front of a car-- thought it was a lost baby
goat. Stopped to get it, and WOW!! A real Albino Whitetail Deer.
Just hours old, but doing fine. No Momma deer around. Another car
nearly hit it in front of me ... the kids call him powder and he’ll be going to
a rehab farm.
The
Jesusita Fire in Santa Barbara, CA last week caused these two to take shelter
together. The fawn is 3 days old and the bobcat about 3 weeks. The fawn
came from somewhere in the fire and the bobcat from Carpentaria. They
immediately bonded and snuggled together under a desk in the Santa Barbara
County Dispatch Office for several hours. They
rescued the fawn during last week's wildfire. Although wild animals,
especially of separate species, are never placed together due to regulations,
in this emergency situation, they had no choice. During
the mayhem of the fire, they were forced to put animals anywhere they could,
since they had run out of crates large enough for the fawn. The kitten
ran to the fawn, and it was instant bonding.

Fawn and Bobcat
Extremely alert reader is reporting that Animal Planet is reporting the bobcat
kitten was rescued near Arnold Schwarzeneggers ranch, where it was dehydrated
and near death.
