Coues deer at Ramsey Canyon. 

Coues are an elfin subspecies of whitetail deer (Odocoileus virginianus couesi), with ears and tails that seem disproportionately big relative to their small body size. In other words, they are adorable. The deer at the Ramsey Canyon preserve are entirely habituated to human presence, and they barely look up from their grazing.
