Whitetail Deer (Odocoileus virginianus)

We currently have three female Whitetail Deer in our enclosure and 5 fawns. They are:

Pumpkin
Jane Doe
Floppy

The Deer exhibit is very popular, especially in the fall. Lots of deer hunters come to see their intended quarry. Deer seem especially friendly when they follow people around the fence.

Whitetail Deer are becoming very common in our area. Many times they can be seen wandering through our parking lots and picnic area.

Below is one the fawns born here in the past. The fawns are usually born in mid-June to mid-July.
