The pudu is the world’s smallest deer species, native to South America’s temperate rainforests. There are two species: the northern pudu and the southern pudu. They stand 32 to 44 centimeters tall at the shoulder and weigh up to 12 kilograms. Pudus are solitary, crepuscular animals, feeding on leaves, fruits, and bark. Their conservation status varies; the southern pudu is classified as near threatened due to habitat loss and predation.
