Overview

• The fawns, named Yuri and Adora, were born on May 21 and May 27 to different parents, with their arrival announced on June 5.
• Zookeepers observe the cautious fawns exploring the outdoor enclosure yet often seeking cover in the grass as they acclimate.
• Measuring roughly half the height of a European roe deer, South Pudu deer are solitary, nocturnal forest browsers.
• The zoo’s herd now includes seven individuals, while Germany hosts 36 Pudu deer across seven zoological institutions.
• Wild populations continue to decline due to habitat degradation and feral dog predation, reinforcing the value of breeding initiatives.
