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.
