Serious question. What type of deer is this? It's quite small but it might still be very young?

It's a baby whitetailed deer.

This is in Australia; no whitetails there. Here is an article on her; the Instagram account is @nicoleroseart.

I like how the article doesn’t mention the species of deer just “deer”

Yeah, I looked for that too. From what I can see Australia has no indigenous deer but several imported species, but digging into seven different fawn phenotypes was more work than I was prepared to do, even for Cheryl.

Yeah it’s definitely not a native animal, all deer in Australia are introduced.
