Born on July 16 to proud parents Eva and Pitchu, this little pudu is already capturing hearts with her adorable presence. And now, she has a name to match her cuteness.
After a public vote, the zoo has officially named the fawn Pralinka (Praline), a sweet name that won a whopping 70 percent of the final votes.
All animals born this year at the zoo are given names starting with the letter "P," and Pralinka seems to be the perfect fit for this little bundle of joy.
"Sweet Pralinka is already running in her enclosure," the zoo shared in a social media post.
The pudu is a shy species, and visitors might need some patience to spot her, but according to zoo staff, it's worth the wait.
"Grow beautifully, lovely Pralinka," the post added, wishing the tiny deer a healthy and happy future.
Pudu are native to South America and are one of the smallest species of deer in the world.
Adult males weigh less than 15 kilograms and reach just 40 centimeters at the shoulder. The pudu’s diet consists primarily of plants, especially shrubs.
If you’re in Warsaw, don’t miss the chance to visit Pralinka and her family—this little fawn is already becoming a star at the zoo!
