*** About Key Deer: Key deer, a unique subspecies of white-tailed deer, are found only in the Florida Keys. These deer are much smaller than their mainland relatives, standing only about 30 inches tall at the shoulder. Adapted to their subtropical environment, they are an apex example of how species evolve traits suited to small, isolated locales like the Florida Keys. Key deer have faced numerous challenges, including habitat loss and vehicular accidents, leading to their classification as an endangered species. Conservation efforts focus on protecting their limited habitat and reducing human-wildlife conflicts to ensure their survival.
