Pudu facts: the Smallest Deer | Animal Fact Files
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 кві 2021
- The pudu is the smallest living deer - well technically the northern pudu is the smallest living deer and also technically they're the smallest living "true" deer. Mouse deer are the smallest living hoofed animals, though they aren't classified in the "true" deer family. Pudus, however, are classified as true deer and thus get the smallest title! These cat-sized deer live in forests of South America in mostly forested environments. They have a preference for the forest edges and form tunnels through forest undergrowth which may be used by a multitude of other forest dwelling animals!

- northern pudu (Pudu mephistophiles)

Range: South America
Size: about 15 inches (38cm) at the shoulders and 20 pounds (9kg) in weight

I named my teddy bear- pudu, randomly. But, today I found out there's an animal named pudu too!!!
It's an unusual coincidence!!♡💜💚
The Northern Pudu (Pudu Mephistophiles) is the world's smallest deer, not counting chevrotains which are not actually deer at all, but are instead placed into their own family, Tragulidae.
Great video! Loved the images!😁
So interesting, great content !
This Pokémon sort of trains itself to use Agility and increase its speed stats!
Amazing to see a true deer that small!
I would love to see one in real life!!
Dear little deer!
Just today learned that these animals existed. Never ceases to amaze me the kinds of animals and organisms that share this planet with us.
Can you do about the almost extinct dama gazelle people should know about this animal bcoz there no guarantee that they will survive or not extinct i am scared about this poor species😐
Great suggestion. Thank you!
i never new that they existed
Very cool 😎
Love these cuties!
Can ya look at the Sea Bunny?
Too cute!!!!!!!!!!!
Completely agreed!
Re-upload? Pls do that Mouse-Deer.
I second this
This is a remastered video. Completely rebuilt from the ground up. The old video had some inaccuracies and didn't match the format of our newer style, so we wanted to update it for you all
@@AnimalFactFiles Thank you. Hopefully there's more "new" than just "remastered" because we're more aching to see some animals featured.
@@FACELESS_VOID_00 There will definitely be new animals, we're just trying to strike a balance. We've had many comments on older videos with feedback about background sounds, on screen text, etc. We've also had people straight up harassing us over it, so it's something we're trying to fix. Of course, then people seem to be quite upset we're "reuploading" which we certainly aren't, but I can see where they're coming from. So, ultimately, it's not possible to make everyone happy. We're just trying our best
Te quiero mucho Pudú
You already made a video about this right?
