Abstract:
The Southern Pudu has long been classified as Vulnerable by Red List™, however some successful breeding programs are ongoing for this species. Since the introduction of the International Studbook and the European conservation breeding program for Pudu pudu, a stable population with more than 100 individuals has been kept at zoos in Europe, North and South America. Not a lot is known about this small deer and we will update soma data on the captive management of this species, including general husbandry, diet and reproduction. The new data is mostly very similar to that published by Schürer and Sliwa (2002) apart from the average life-span which has increased over the years.
