Iris Moore is a celebrated photographer who has snapped pictures of the deer on several occasions.
Moore said the locals named the deer “Rosie” because she loves to eat the rose petals.
“When there’s a wedding, she likes to come out and play,” said Moore.
Moore said Rosie swims to Little Palm Island from nearby islands.
“It makes work fun,” said Moore.
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Key deer are found only in the Florida Keys, the archipelago of islands off the southern tip of Florida. While their historic range probably went from Key Vaca south to Key West, their range now includes about 26 islands from Big Pine Key to Sugarloaf Key and they can swim from one island to another.
