Fawns are born with spots for camouflage against predators, also when born it is without scent (odorless) so said predators cannot find their location, the mother even stays away for a few days so her scent won't rub off and that give the fawn time to gain strength, once the fawn nears adulthood they are agile and allusive and the spots disappear along with the reddish coat and turns to a grayish winter coat.
