MIMS, Fla. – With the help of some rescuers, a fawn that was found next to his dead mother now has a good chance at survival.
Crystene Prokop, the rescue team captain at Wild Florida Rescue, said a person driving on State Road 46 in Mims saw the fawn on March 29 and stopped to help.
The baby’s mother had been hit by a car and the fawn refused to leave her side. That person then contacted Wild Florida Rescue for help. [TRENDING: Fla.
