Antlers, a type of bone, adorn the heads of members of the deer family (
Cervidae).
(1.) Cervids are hoofed mammals in the family

Esto se fundamenta en el hecho de que existe relacion taxonomica y filogenica entre el Pudu y este grupo de especies, categorizandolos a lo menos como rumiantes de pequena talla, como menciona, Guzman (2007) en su estudio genetico del Pudu, donde describe que las familias Bovidae y
Cervidae presentan cierto grado de parentesco.
It's commonly thought that the deer family,
Cervidae, evolved somewhere in the tropics of Asia, then expanded east and west into Europe and the Americas, respectively.
The external longitudinal crest with three internal extensions that can be clearly seen on the labial views that help in their ranking to
Cervidae, especially the last character which is universal for cervids (Azzaroli, 1948; Bubenik, 1990; Petronio et al., 2007; Ghaffar et al., 2010).
Given that CWD affects several members of the family
Cervidae, it seems reasonable to consider whether the zoonotic potential of CWD prions could be affected by factors such as CWD strain, cervid species, geographic location, and Prnp-PRNP polymorphic variation.
Conjoined twins are rare in
Cervidae but more commonly reported in humans and domestic animals.
The Javan muntjac (Muntiacus muntjak muntjak, Zimmermann 1780) is a small cervid belonging to the
Cervidae family found in the Indonesian islands of Java and southern Sumatera.
