That baby is just amazing. Looks like he's ready for adoption

I think it's a boy. Here he/she is today, June 29th...

Another great shot. Do they stay with their mama for a while or do they seperate?. Thanks for sharing.

They are born in mid May to early June and they stay with mama through their first winter and into the next spring, and then mama usually pushes them off, but not always.

yesterday, July 15th...

He's getting leggy, looking healthy

These are great! I missed the last posting. You haven't named him yet?

**forestgnome** · 07-17-2009, 07:59 AM

Well...since you asked

... his name is Kezossa, which means "fast" in Abanaki. Each time I see him he's running and sprinting in circles while mama watches, and once I saw her jog around with him a bit. He's hard to photograph because he won't stay still for long.

Perfect name! To be young again..
