Reuters said a Pudu male, the world's smallest deer, an endangered species, was born at an ecological park in Argentina earlier this month.
Weighing just 1.21 kg, the small, white-spotted baby food has been named "Lenga," a tree species native to the Andean Patagonia forests of Chile and Argentina.
Pudu is one of the smallest deer species in the world, and can grow up to 50 cm tall and weigh up to 12 kg.
Lenga will be able to eat a herbivorous diet after breastfeeding for the first two months.
Pudu are very quiet herbivores that run away zigzag when chased by predators.
Currently, there are only about 10,000 pudus left, and they are classified as a "vulnerable close species" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
