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.

The Fawns are born in spring when there is plenty to eat as soon as thy are weened. There are not a lot of leaves and the sun filters through the trees and leavs leaving "white spots" on the ground and foilage. The spots on the Fawn help it to blend in. The Spots break up the fawns pattern and acts as camoflauge to hid it from predators. The spots fade and are gone by the fawnsfirst winter.
They are usually called a fawn or if out of spots a teen fawn.
A fawn is a young deer typically just born to 6 months old these have white spots on them, a yearling is around a year old and a lot bigger and these have out grown there white spots

A baby deer is generally called a fawn. Fawns often have spots or other "baby coloring" not seen in adult deer. This will fade as the fawn grows up. By the time he's a year old, he is a deer, not a fawn, and all of his protective "baby colors" will have faded away.
A fawn usually stays with their mother until the next breeding season. You can tell because fawns mature and lose their spots. They are old enough to leave their mother when their spots disappear and the mother or buck will chase them off.
When it grows older it looses its white spots. But it doesnt change colour
