() The San Diego Zoo Safari Park recently welcomed the addition of a Père David’s deer fawn.

The male fawn, which was born on April 8, is the first of its kind to be born at the Safari Park in 22 years, according to the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance.

“The fawn was born on a habitat in Asian Plains and is now visible to guests as he explores the habitat alongside the rest of the herd,” the organization said in a media release.

Père David’s deer have been extinct in the wild since 1939.

“In the first one to two weeks of life, the fawn’s mother kept him hidden, just as she would in native habitats. She visited the fawn several times throughout the day to groom and nurse until he was strong enough to keep up with the rest of the herd,” they said.
