Description
This endangered Key deer doe is giving her fawn its first swimming lesson! The Key deer, Odocoileus virginianus clavium, is a subspecies of the ordinary ubiquitous Virgina 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.

“They have been changing their individual behavior to better co-exist with human communities that pepper their "last-stand" are on Earth. But the burden is on us to ensure they survive.”
