Resting by the Rocks
Another oldie, before I got my DSLR. This is a Père David's Deer, a female, resting by the rocks near a river in her enclosure at the Bronx Zoo. She and her herd are one of many herds in captivity since they were hunted to extinction in the wild in China centuries ago. Today, only about 700 are in the wild, but the species is slowly recovering from it's extinction. This lady, to me, looks pregnant. The herd at the Bronx Zoo is pretty substantial, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case. © 2009-Current.
