The smallest type of deer is as tall as a ruler

The world’ s smallest deers are called ‘Pudus’ and are two endangered subspecies of South American deer from the genus ‘Pudu’.

The word ‘Pudu’ derives  from Mapudungun, the language of the indigenous Mapuche people of southern Chile.

These two species are a) the northern Pudu from Colombia, Ecuador and Peru and b) the southern Pudu from southern Chile and southwestern Argentina.

Pudus are from 32 to 44 cm tall and up to 85 cm long.
