The southern pudu fawn born at the Queens Zoo represents a significant effort in wildlife conservation, showcasing a commitment to maintaining genetic diversity and awareness of species at risk.
Pudus are increasingly rare, with their native habitat in Chile and Argentina threatened by destruction and invasive species, highlighting the critical need for conservation efforts.
Since 2005, the Queens Zoo has successfully bred eight pudus as part of their collaborative efforts to support the survival of this 'near threatened' species.
The Queens Zoo's breeding program for southern pudus underlines the vital role that zoos play in preserving vulnerable species while educating the public about biodiversity.
