Get ready, Pune residents! The Rajiv Gandhi Zoological Park is about to welcome a rare and fascinating addition to its animal collection—the mouse deer. Known as “pisori” in the local language, these tiny creatures are set to arrive in the next two months, giving visitors a chance to see the smallest deer species in the world up close.
Special enclosures are currently being prepared to ensure that these unique animals have a suitable habitat to thrive in. With their small size and nocturnal habits, the mouse deer prefer rocky areas near water sources, making the zoo’s upcoming exhibit an exciting opportunity for animal lovers in Pune.
Native to regions in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and parts of Central and West Africa, the mouse deer are skilled at evading predators by hiding in rock crevices and under stones. Their distinctive physical features, including small heads, pointed snouts, and fang-like canines, are sure to capture the attention of zoo visitors.
With the zoo taking steps to create specialized enclosures for the mouse deer, Pune residents will soon have a rare chance to observe these elusive creatures in person. By providing an educational and recreational experience, the introduction of the mouse deer to Rajiv Gandhi Zoo aims to raise awareness about wildlife conservation and promote appreciation for these fascinating animals.
