"The Applegate Park Zoo recently had babies born in one of its enclosures for the first time in 20 years, if not ever, according to staffers.
The zoo took in a mule deer, which they named Lilly, from a neighborhood in Copperopolis, according to Donna McDowell, the head keeper. The deer was too friendly to people for its own good.
“Obviously somebody had made her a pet,” McDowell said on Wednesday. “She was going into people’s garages and yards. Apparently if you left your door open she’d try to get into your car with you.”
