Deer Kept as Camp Mascots by U.S. Marines, Managua, Nicaragua
Two young deer, captured and kept as camp mascots, stand behind a wire enclosure at a U.S. Marine post in Managua, Nicaragua. Such informal adoptions of local wildlife were common among Marines stationed abroad during the Banana Wars era, offering companionship and a touch of home during long deployments. Project: 218713
