A new Pudu fawn, the world’s smallest species of deer, was born at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park this past weekend.
The tiny one is doing great in the habitat she shares with her mom named ‘Posey.’ She is described by the zoo to have an adventurous and confident personality.
Pudu deer leave quite an impression, 13 to 17 inches to be exact. The zoo says the small deer barely reach human’s knees at their full grown size.
Fawning over this precious little 🦌 The San Diego Zoo Safari Park is thrilled to welcome a new pudu fawn to the family. Born this past weekend, she is taking on her new habitat in stride.

Native to South America, pudus are the world’s smallest deer species. Come say hello this little lady on your next visit to the Safari Park. #pudu #fawn #sdzsafaripark
