The shy Curaçao white tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus ssp curassavicus). This rare and endemic subspecie is believed to have been brought to Curaçao from South America in pre-Columbian times by Arawak Indians. The deer adapted to the dry, harsh climate. Their antlers and stature are both smaller than their mainland cousins. They also do not mate in very dry years. Only 250 specimens are believed to exist and most of these protected, flagship animals can be found within Christoffel Park. Photo credit - Christian König: SHAPE/DCNA
