The southern pudu fawn was born on June 21 and weighed only 2 pounds at birth, according to a news release from the Wildlife Conservation Society, which manages the city&#8217;s zoos. As it matures, it is expected to weigh between 15 and 20 pounds. The southern pudu is among the smallest deer species globally and is classified as near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. This species is indigenous to Chile and Argentina, where its numbers are declining due to habitat development and invasive species. To help preserve genetically diverse populations, the Queens Zoo collaborates with other zoos in breeding southern pudus; since 2005, eight fawns have been born there. The newborn will share its habitat with its parents at Queens Zoo, while two additional pudus reside at Prospect Park Zoo in Brooklyn.
