why is it called baby reindeer

A baby reindeer is called a fawn or a calf. These young reindeer are called fawns for the first year of their life, after which they are called calves until they are adults. Fawns are born in early to mid-June and they are able to walk just a few minutes after they are born. They are typically reddish brown in color and have a white spot on their rump that helps their mother recognize them.
