She's at least as big as a malamute and bigger than her buck counterparts. She likes to walk through the open core barn. The doe walks in one end and out the other with delicate deliberation. This way is not any shorter than the route around the building and there is no obvious reason for her diversion. It seems as though she likes to feel the hard, dry floor beneath her feet in contrast to the deep, spongy tundra of the rain forest. Perhaps she likes the sound of her own footsteps on boardwalk in the tall building, click, click click…
