WARNING: Cuteness overload ahead....
(From cuteoverload.com)
Who knew? Pudú!
It has come to my atten-shons that some of you were not aware that The Pudu exists. I love it when new species come out of the woodwork to kill us with their adorabuhlness.
Here is Pudu 101.
First, they’re spotted, prosh and the world’s smallest deer:
Second, pudús normally weigh up to 12 kilograms (26 pounds.)
Third, they have small, black eyes, black noses, and rounded ears with lengths of 7.5 to 8 centimeters (3.0 to 3.1 inches.)
Lastly, they live in bamboo thickets (imagining Disney movie now) to hide from predators. They also LOVE Cute Overload Xtreme Close-ups:

Here is Pudu in action

In Argentina we have Pudús. They are the cutest little things you'll ever meet. Sadly, I read they are very easy to become scared and hat they could be dead by a hearth attack only by the fact if smelling some danger...Poor Pudús! It seems that hunters had killed too many of them, and even if they are protected, they are somewhat in extintion.
