Photos of a Fawn and Wild Rabbit -Truth!

Summary of the eRumor:
A forwarded email with a series of photos of what appears to be a friendship between a fawn and a wild rabbit named "Bambi and Thumper."

The Truth:
The photos are real and taken by Tanja Askani, a worker at the Lüneburger Heide game park, in Germany. More photos and stories can be found on her web site. The stories are in the German language but there are translation utilities available on sites like Babel fish Yahoo or Google that can assist in converting websites into different languages.
