The smallest deer known alive in the world is the Pudu. It stands only 13 to 15 inches tall or 33 to 38 cm at the shoulder and only weighs around 18 pounds or 8.2 kg.
The Pudu can be found in Chile and Argentina. If you accidentally come upon a Pudu and frighten him, he will in fact bark similar to a dog even though they are not relate.
