Fuzzy Fuzzy Little Fawn - song parody to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star & some other drawings species from the Deer Family coloring pages

 

Fuzzy Fuzzy Little Fawn

(This is a new drawing and a new song parody.) 

A few weeks ago I was visiting my daughter and her family.  Her eldest child, who is also our eldest granddaughter, and I made up this song parody together, so I drew a Mule Deer fawn on the page where I wrote down the lyrics to this song parody.  It is sung to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.   The song parody is called:  Fuzzy Fuzzy Little Fawn.  

About Mule Deer.  .  .  they are the most common local deer here out West, including here in Utah.  They are bigger than the White-tail deer that they have back in the Eastern part of the United States and Canada.  Adult male mule deer are around 5 feet long.  The females are a bit smaller.  The large males have 4 or 5 points per antler.  The bucks weigh between 120 lbs for a spike and 330 lbs for a 4 or 5 point large buck.  A spike is a young deer that is at least a year old and that has one point on each antler.  A spike's antlers do not branch.  

Mule deer get their name from the large mule-like ears.  They live in a wide range in Western North America.  They live from Alaska clear down into Mexico.  Mule deer are browsers so they eat herbaceous plants... A.K.A. weeds... and leaves and twigs from bushes and even from parts of some trees... if they can reach the branches.  Mule deer live 9 to 11 years in the wild.  

Some of the trees that Mule Deer eat are very common around here.  They include Quaking Aspen, Gambel's Oak-including the acorns, Big Tooth Maple.  What is weird is that in Utah the Mule Deer prefer browsing on the Gambel's Oak and in Arizona they prefer browsing on the Big Tooth Maple. 

Mule Deer fawns are born in the spring.  They weigh around 5.5 lbs or 2.2 kg.  The fawns are reddish brown with some white and are covered in white spots.  But when they are weaned at 60 to 75 days they start to lose their spots.  The yearling males are generally the spikes. 

Below is a drawing I did a couple of years ago of a Mule Deer buck.  For comparison, I added all the other drawings I have done from the deer family.  

Mule Deer Buck

Whitetailed Deer Buck

(This species is much more common in the Eastern parts of North America.)

Whitetailed Deer buck and Doe

(The other Whitetail Buck drawing is more accurate.)

Elk or Bull Elk

(In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful of all animals on God's green Earth.)

Moose or Bull Moose

(This bull moose is eating lilypads in a pond.)

Red Deer

(This species is native to the Old World.  It is found in both Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa.)

NOTE:  These drawings are found by clicking on the "Animals" button at the top of the page.  The NEW drawing, of the Mule Deer Fawn, is going to be at the bottom of the list.  The older drawings will be found further up the list of printable drawings. (I just posted the printable version of the song.)
