*** About Key Deer: Key Deer are a unique subspecies of the North American white-tailed deer, found only in the Florida Keys. They are much smaller than their mainland cousins, standing only about 2.5 feet tall at the shoulder. Key Deer are adapted to the subtropical environments of the Keys, where they navigate through mangroves and hardwood hammocks. Despite their endearing size and demeanor, Key Deer face critical threats from habitat loss, vehicle strikes, and environmental changes. Conservation efforts are crucial to their survival, focusing on habitat protection and reducing human-deer conflicts to ensure these gentle creatures continue to grace the Florida landscape.
