Ziya (Père David's deer)

Taken in April, 2022.
At the time, Ziya was 18 years old and clearly showing her age. Born at the GVZ, she was the last surviving member of the zoo's small breeding herd of Père David's deer. She spent her twilight in a merged enclosure, sharing space with a herd of sika deer.
A few months after I took this photo, Ziya passed away. She was quite old for a Père David's deer, and had recently been off display for a time due to medical reasons. I'll miss her presence very much </3
