The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office today released photos detailing the rescue of a 2-day-old fawn from an island in the Cache La Poudre River on Friday after it became separated from its mother.
The Larimer County Dive Team and Larimer County Emergency Services helped wildlife officials with the rescue, the Sheriff’s Office said.
Dive team members swam to the island, which was being inundated with rising water from the river, and put the fawn in a recovery bag that was hoisted up to a nearby bicycle bridge, officials said.
State Division of Wildlife officers “placed the fawn in the grass, close to where its mother was seen,” according to the Sheriff’s Office.
