Zoo Announces Birth Of World's Smallest Deer Species



The pudu, which is native to Argentina and Chile, is the world's smallest deer species.

They're also known to have ridiculously cute offspring.

Images of a pudu fawn recently born at the Queen's Zoo in New York are making their way around the Internet and melting many hearts as they do.

The roughly 6-inch tall youngster came into the world on May 12th and brings the zoo's total exhibit count to 3.

Though he's still nursing it's anticipated that soon he'll be feasting on some pudu favorites, including leaves, kale, and carrots.

Anyone looking for an extra large dose of adorableness is encouraged to stop by the zoo for a visit.
