***About Key Deer:

*** Key deer are a unique and endangered subspecies of the white-tailed deer native to the Florida Keys. They are much smaller than their mainland relatives, standing about 30 inches tall at the shoulder. Adapted to their limited freshwater environment, they are known to swim between the islands. Their population, once severely depleted due to hunting and habitat loss, has been a subject of conservation efforts, which have included habitat protection and stringent regulations to mitigate human impact. Educating the public about the fragility of their existence remains crucial for their survival.
