Siblings make us stronger. From a very young age mule deer fawns will begin to spar and push each others limits. Having grown up with four siblings I can say from personal experience that the sibling relationship is a very valuable one. Whether it's sparring and strengthening you for future battles or supporting you through them the sibling relationship is an important one. "A Brother for Adversity"
is a contemplation of that relationship.
These little animals have such a happy demeanor it is hard not to love them after any time observing them. Even when left out of the fun the third kit quickly found ways to make the best of it and just made himself that much more endearing.
