Wildlife officials weren’t too happy about this one. 

Wildlife officials are investigating a Facebook post of a man who leashed a whitetail deer fawn. Pictures surfaced from Louisville, Kentucky, of the whitetail deer fawn in a front seat. Posts also showed the man trying to sell the fawn for $500.

Kentucky Fish and Wildlife officials say it’s illegal to attempt to domesticate wild whitetail fawns. The man could face charges up to $1,000.

Whitetail deer are wild animals and female deer, or does, sometimes leave their fawns, but it doesn’t mean the doe fawns are lost or missing. Similarly, does often give birth to twin fawns or even triplets.

People should leave fawns alone if they cross paths with them. A fawn’s coat contains white spots for the first six-to-eight months of its life. A fawn’s spots will fade, leaving a summer reddish-brown coat.

Mothers do hide their newborn fawns in thick cover to ensure their safety. This fawn probably meandered from its hiding spot.

Fawn survival is dependent on good cover, and people often do these adolescents a disservice when they interact with them.

The Quality Deer Management Association posted an article on myths about fawns. For more information, click here.

Look What Happened to This Python After It Swallowed an Alligator

A python bursts after making a meal out of a gator, leaving everyone baffled as to what exactly happened.

Pythons are known for filling their bellies with some pretty enormous animals, including alligators. However, this particular alligator was a bad choice.

For whatever reason, the python’s head was also missing when it was found, making this scenario even stranger.

However this happened, it’s definitely one of nature’s mysteries that’ll remain unknown, and all we can do is speculate.

How in the world this came to manifest is unknown, but several theories have been proposed. Some believe the gator clawed its way out, while others think it ruptured from the buildup of gas produced by the decomposing carcass. Though, it’s also possible another predator attacked the vulnerable snake while being weighed down by its enormous meal.

elk fight

Two giant bull elk duke it out in Yellowstone National Park river.

If you dream of elk hunting, then get ready for one of the most epic elk visuals known to man. This is an elk fight like you’ve never seen. Before you get any hunting ideas, just remember this is in a national forest.

This herd of elk puts on a show during what seems to be peak mating season. These giant bulls scream their heads off, glisten in the sun and duke it out in the rushing depths of a river. This will make every elk hunter wish they were within gun range as the bulls’ hormones rage.

Yellowstone National Park is wildly popular for some of the sights and sounds you can experience. However, an avid elk hunter could only fantasize about a moment like this.

The roaring bugles are enough to make the hair stand up on the back of your neck.

Come on Elk Season!

Giant Bulls duke it out in the river at Yellowstone Park. A glorious thing!

If the bugles weren’t enough, how about the vicious clashing of antlers as these giant bulls try to stake claim to the beautiful territory and abundance of cows?

I personally have always been fascinated by the bull elk. I dreamed of hunting them and thought I understood the majestic nature of them from afar. That was until I went on my first elk hunting trip, in the Rocky Mountains, while backpacking in and sleeping aside the mountain for a week. Once I experienced ear piercing bugles from close ranges in the early mountain air, it was far more exhilarating than I could’ve ever imagined. We hit the elk rut just right, and it was a trip I’ll never forget.

Then there’s the terrain. After scaling up and down the mountain chasing bugles for a week, you really come to respect their resilience. It’s hard to believe just how resilient and strong these elk have to be to survive in such a rugged area.

Someone has to win, and the king bull made it his point by asserting his dominance. It leaves us with only one questions, though: is it elk season yet?

If you aren’t someone who enjoys hunting and think you’d like to witness something like this in person, the Rocky Mountain National Park is a great place to go.
