@golgaloth@writing.exchange This isn't quite accurate, and a bit of an old myth. Fawns do have a smell. It's less than an adult deer but they definitely do. A dog could find a fawn no problem if the wind is right. The mother will spend a while licking the afterbirth, and all that lovely stuff off the baby so there will be some smell transfer as well. The idea is that the mother, being much more pungent would lure the predators towards her and away from the fawn. At least that's the common belief.
