We
went in search of the Endangered Key
Deer on Pine Key. We found them on both
Big Pine Key and No Name Key. The Key
Deer is a smaller sub species of the white tail deer. Since being put on the endangered list their
totals have increase. In the 50’s there were an estimated 25 deer. Now
there is a estimate of between 6 and 700.

Hey, were you going
I'm out of here
Mom and baby
Nice rack
This guy was not afraid of cars or people. Rack still in velvet
This is why they are not afraid. Signs all over saying "do feed the deer". I pulled up aside of them and told them it was a $1000. fine for feeding the deer and you should have seen them take off. Deer are wild, keep them wild.
The end to a perfect day. We got to see many key deer, including many fawns.
The deer are cute but I've seen so many to me they're kind of ho hum, but I love the iguana!
ReplyDeleteThey are so little and cute. My sister is not happy with the deer wandering through our neighborhood because they eat her plants. I keep telling her not to feed them but she doesn't listen to me. Love your lizard.
ReplyDeleteCute deer.
