*More Photos* World's Smallest Deer Species Born at New York Zoo
Associated Press June 8, 2015 NEW YORK, NY — The Wildlife Conservation Society sent out a baby announcement Monday. It's a boy! A tiny deer is generating a giant dose of cuteness in New York City. The male southern pudu fawn, the world's smallest deer species, was born May 12, at the Queens Zoo. Southern pudus tend to be around a foot tall at the shoulder. When they're born, they're only 6 inches high, and weigh less than a pound. The fawn is still nursing, but soon, will be munching on leaves, grain, kale, carrots and hay. The white spots on his soft brown fur will disappear as he grows up. In his case, though, "growing up," won't be much of a vertical process. Southern pudus tend to be around a foot tall at the shoulder. In this May 27, 2015 photo, provided by the Wildlife Conservation Society, a southern pudu fawn walks in its enclosure at the Queens Zoo in New York.

I have never seen a deer in the wild in England strangely enough, we have lots of them but yet they remain elusive.

I have several on my property that like to eat the food I leave for the feral cats. They like to flip the shelters that I leave during the winter, too.  Other than that, I enjoy watching them. |

We get them around here once in a while, but, you can see a lot of them along the Atlantic City Expressway, (New Jersey), late at night/early morning.
