Pudu ( 148 items )
This site's mascot, the pudu (actual species name: pudu pudu) is the world's tiniest deer, a two-foot-tall little ungulate with big wide eyes and a body that resembles a Vienna sausage balanced on four wobbly toothpicks.

Imagine a full-grown deer whose nose is at the height of your shins, peering up at you timidly and hoping you might give it a mulberry leaf to chew. That's a pudu.

Pudus have no natural defenses to speak of. When threatened, pudus usually try to find a log to hide behind or possibly climb. This works about as well as it sounds like. Overall, they're endangered and they look like they know it.

Not surprisingly, pudus are losing their habitat, like lots of wonderful species are. So enjoy them while they're here.

PS -- Pudus aren't really from Peru; they're from Chile and Argentina. But those don't rhyme with "pudu" as well as "Perudu."
