Bonus under the cut

Pudu, if you're not familiar with the species, are the smallest species of deer in the world. They're found in a very limited range in South America.

It was worth it.

Our southern pudu fawn officially has a name!

Say hello to Benicio (or Beni for short)!

Pudus are the smallest deer species in the world. As this little guy grows to an impressive foot and a half tall, those white spots on his fur will fade away.

Who do that pudu? You do!
