The Key deer is a small subspecies of the white-tailed deer found only in the Florida Keys. They are the smallest deer in North America, with adults typically weighing between 50 to 75 pounds. Key deer have a distinctive appearance, featuring a slender body, long legs, and a short, slender neck. Their fur is light brown, which helps them blend into their coastal habitat. Key deer are primarily herbivores, feeding on a variety of plants, including grasses, shrubs, and fruits. They are most active during dawn and dusk, making them crepuscular animals. Due to habitat loss and vehicle collisions, Key deer are considered an endangered species, with conservation efforts in place to protect their population.
