Two threatened species have been seen for the first time since moving into their new habitat.

The Philippine spotted deer were welcomed last week to Bristol's Wild Place Project and are acclimating to their surroundings.

In order to help protect the future of the species, it is hoped that the couple will go on to have their own family.

There may be fewer than 700 Philippine spotted deer left in the wild.

The two animals came from two different zoos, Chester and Colchester, where they were prepared to leave their herds and join a mate.

They want to "inspire future conservationists," a zookeeper stated.

They are here to tell a very important story, according to Ellie Adams, senior hoofstock keeper at the Wild Place Project.

Since there are so few Philippine spotted deer left in the wild, the organization hopes to encourage upcoming conservationists and collaborate with tourists to protect wildlife. ".

The species, which are frequently hunted in the wild, are being studied and protected in the Philippines by conservationists from the Bristol Zoological Society.
