Great pic! It's actually common for whitetail deer to have twins, especially in an area where there are no natural predators; wolves, coyotes, cougars. I've seen one doe with three fawns!

The forest is a forest that is beautiful, beautiful children are eager hug mother

"As I came to know that both the fawns are male!"

"One and only one unique picture, standing on eleven legs!
It gave me a lot of good feelings!"

maybe flies and tics - looks like parasites
