Roaming in herds, eating and caring for their young: that is how the spotted deer (chital) spend their days at the National Zoo in Mirpur, Dhaka. Prothom Alo photographer Tanvir Ahammed captured those moments in the deer enclosure.
A small fawn wanders beside its mother, and in one picture a doe nuzzles her fawn. A deer drinks from a set trough, and when a keeper arrives with food the herd comes running.
Sometimes a squirrel helps itself to the deer's food. Inside the enclosure the herd watches its surroundings warily, while another deer grazes on, absorbed.
Visitors enjoy the scenes from outside the fence. The little fawns are a special draw for children, and one parent is seen photographing a child with the deer.
