The pudús are two species of South American deer from the genus Pudu, and are the world's smallest deer, with the southern pudú being slightly larger than the northern pudú. It has a stocky frame supported by four short and slender legs. Males have short, spiked antlers that are not forked, as seen in most species of deer. Pudús have small hooves, dewclaws, and a short tail. Coat coloration varies with season, gender, and individual genes. The fur is long and stiff, typically pressed close to the body, with a reddish brown to dark brown hue. The neck and shoulders of an aged pudú turn a dark gray-brown in the winter. The pudús inhabits temperate rainforests in South America, where the dense underbrush and bamboo thickets offer protection from predators.
