As the zoo’s press service said, the animals are only two months old. A special enclosure with a spacious outdoor area has already been prepared for them.
The residents have already grown accustomed to their new home. The deer were brought from the Ethnographic Museum of the Peoples of Transbaikalia in the city of Ulan-Ude.
For now, the little ones do not have names. By tradition, the fawns will be named by children at one of the upcoming events organized by the zoo.

Reference: the spotted deer lives in southern Primorye, but due to constant persecution it nearly became extinct at the beginning of the 20th century.
In summer, its coat is reddish-brown with white spots; in winter it becomes somewhat duller. In April, the deer sheds its antlers, and new ones grow in their place.
It feeds on herbaceous plants, fallen acorns, nuts and fruits, tree leaves, mushrooms, and berries; in winter it eats bark and young branches.
