Pudu deer is world's smallest (and cutest?) deer
| New York
Wildlife officials say a member of the world's smallest聽deerspecies has been born at a New York City zoo.
The doe weighed 1 pound (0.45 kilogram) when it was born last month at the Queens Zoo.
The fawn is part of an endangered species called the Southern聽pudu聽that's native to Chile and Argentina. They bark when they sense danger and they're good jumpers, sprinters and climbers.
Scientists from The Wildlife Conservation Society that runs the zoo are working to help preserve the聽deer's聽native South American habitats.
New York's tiny baby聽deer聽is still nursing but will soon transition to eating fresh leaves, grain and kale.
