 Pere David's Deer - LP Zoo

Pere David's Deer, I am a new

Ambassador arriving at

My new home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

Getting used to my habitat.

From China originally,

My kind in the wild are extinct.

Now we're bred in captivity,

Keeping the ties to the past linked.

My coat in summer's reddish tan

Changing in winter to dull grey.

Often in the water I can

Be found swimming my time away.

Next time when at the Zoo you be,

Stop by my place and visit me.
