| General Description : | Photography: Doug Lindstrand Gum Type: Pressure sensitive OFDC Cancellation Location: Ancaster, Ontario Once again, Canada Post takes a peek inside nature’s nursery with four definitives depicting young animals indigenous to Canada. Created by designers Monique Dufour and Sophie Lafortune, these stamps are in the same visual style as the past two editions of this series, with the image of the animal in question set against a mainly white background, with a hint of their natural habitat revealed. Deer fawns are born with an average of 300 white spots on their fur, which usually disappear in time. Immediately after birth, its mother licks the fawn free of scent to hide it from predators. Except for the time spent nursing, baby fawns stay hidden in the grass until they can walk with their mother. A healthy fawn can outrun a human at a few days old but it takes three to six weeks before they can elude most predators. And it’s a little known fact that roughly 25 per cent of twin fawns have different fathers. |
