A young deer that was orphaned in the summer appears to have been adopted by horses.
The fawn lost its mother in July, but managed to survive. It is regularly spotted grazing in a field near Shubenacadie, N.S., just like most deer do, but the odd thing is it's hanging out with horses, not deer.
It was first seen with its foster family in the summer and still had spots, meaning it was young. A few days later a dead doe was found on the road.
Erin Carter, 9, drives past the field with her father Greg Carter every day.
"We were just driving by and I noticed the deer with the horses and I didn't know what to think," she said Monday.
Her father was also stumped.
"Somehow this deer survived and is living here with these horses and it never leaves. We see it every day," he said.
Observers say the fawn seems to be particularly fond of one of the two mares and is never far from its side.

We've been hearing rumblings that Diablo III may be console bound for some time now, but today it has been official confirmed via Blizzard community manager Micah Whipple. Replying to a twitter inquiry regarding a console version of the game, Whipple responded in the affirmative.
“Yup. Josh Mosqueira is lead designer for the Diablo console project.”
There you have it, Diablo III coming to consoles. No confirmation on which ones, but Xbox 360 and PS3 are the likely bets.

Today marks the 71st birthday of legendary animator and director Hayao Miyazaki. Sometimes referred to as “Japan’s Walt Disney,” Miyazaki is responsible for some of the best animated films of the last 30 years, including (but certainly not limited to) My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Ponyo, and the brilliant Spirited Away — which remains the only film produced outside the English-speaking world to have won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
Growing up, Miyazaki had wanted to be a Manga artist, but reportedly shifted his focus to animation during high school. After working as an animator in other studios in his twenties and thirties, Miyazaki came into his own with 1984′s Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, the first feature he both wrote and directed. The next year saw the founding of Studio Ghibli with fellow director Isao Takahata, and the animation studio quickly gained a reputation as one of the best in the world.
Beginning with Princess Mononoke in 1999, Disney has released most of Miyazaki’s films in the United States with dubs done by prominent actors and actresses. While that film did poorly at the box office, likely mostly due to lack of marketing, later releases such as Spirited Away and Ponyo have done quite well. Next month Disney will release a similarly-dubbed version Studio Ghibli’s The Secret World of Arrietty, the first Ghibli film distributed by Disney that was not directed by Miyazaki, but rather by his protégé Hiromasa Yonebayashi.
