The Pudú (Pudu puda) is a species belonging to the Cervidae family. It is native to Chile and is distributed from the Maule region to the Aysén region. Today it is in a vulnerable state of conservation due to the urban approach to its habitat. There is not much anatomical knowledge of the structures that make up the spinal column of this species and its depth in clinical aspects is still little studied. Because it is a vulnerable species and requires routine care in animal rescue centers due to various accidents or attacks that they are faced with. It is necessary to deepen its different systems and organs with the intention of amplifying the morphological knowledge of this species. Due to the current situation of this species, an anatomical description of the bone segments that make up the vertebral column of four pudúes was carried out in the veterinary anatomy laboratory of the Universidad Santo Tomás and Universidad San Sebastián in the city of Puerto Montt, Chile. An anatomical description of each of the vertebral segments was made: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and coccygeal. Through the observation and analysis of each of the anatomical segments of the spinal column, it was possible to identify a series of differences, of interest in aspects of comparative anatomy and that allow us to understand morphological characteristics of this native Chile species.
