Two little deer came to visit us today. Grampy took pictures of them from a big window.
Since they still have white baby spots on their backs, they are called fawns.
When I looked at the pictures, I saw something surprising. Deer faces look a little bit like kangaroos!
Did you ever see a kangaroo? (We probably will never see a kangaroo at Pojac.)
A lot of kangaroos live in Australia, on the other side of the world. The mommy kangaroo carries her baby in a pouch protected between mommy's short front legs and her enormous back legs.
Maybe you will see kangaroos someday.
When you do, you will notice that a kangaroo face looks a little bit like a deer face.
Kangaroos have long, furry snouts, bright black eyes, and big ears, something like deer.
But after the neck, they begin to look very different from a deer. Can you see why?
Look at those big back legs on the kangaroo, and the thin little legs on the deer.
Look at the long thick tail on the kangaroo, and the little fluffy tail on the deer.
From the back, kangaroos and deer look completely different, especially when they decide it is time to run away!
Love,
Grammy
