Description
This adorable, endangered Key deer fawn is tasting native grass in the Keys. The Key deer, Odocoileus virginianus clavium, is a subspecies of the ordinary ubiquitous Virginia Whitetail deer, but the Key deer has evolved and presently exists in the wild only on a few islands in the Florida Keys. It is by far the smallest of any deer in the Americas.
