*** About Key Deer: Key deer are a unique and endangered subspecies of white-tailed deer native to the lower Florida Keys. They are much smaller than typical white-tailed deer, with adult males standing about 30 inches at the shoulder and weighing around 80 pounds, while females are even smaller. These delicate creatures reside primarily in upland forests, mangroves, and freshwater wetlands. Due to their limited range and small population size, Key deer are vulnerable to threats such as habitat destruction, human interaction, and road accidents. Conservation efforts are critical for sustaining their populations and ensuring they continue to thrive within their natural and increasingly encroaching urban environment.
