If you’re an animal lover, be careful around the Queens Zoo this time of year. You might want to take all the baby animals home with you—especially this brand new pudu fawn.

The New York zoo announced the fawn’s birth on Monday, June 8. Zoo visitors love pudu deer. God made the pudu the smallest of the world’s deer species. At birth, pudu fawns measure only six inches high. But they don’t have much growing to do. When they’re full-grown, they’re only a foot high!

Pudu deer usually live in warm places like Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and Argentina. But zoo life can be much safer for pudu than life in the wild. Have you ever seen a pudu in a zoo?
