These deer having amazing temperament. You can walk right up to them.
From the web:
The Key deer is a subspecies of the white-tailed deer. It once ranged throughout the lower Florida Keys, but now lives primarily in one area called Big Pine Key and surrounding small islands.
National Wildlife Federation has worked to protect the Key deer since 1951, when only about 25 of the animals still survived.
Sometimes called the “toy deer,” the Key deer is the smallest subspecies of white-tailed deer. Adult males, or bucks, weigh only 55-75 pounds. Adult females, or does, weigh slightly less. On average, they stand only about 24 to 32 inches at the shoulder.
