Sharpie-Sized Baby at Topeka Zoo
With legs about the size of pencils, adult Chevrotains weigh only 10-13 pounds.  Males have small curved tusks.  This species is sometimes called the Mouse Deer, though they are not true deer.
These ungulates are native to Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Malaysia, where they dwell in forests and feed on fruit and berries.  Threats from overhunting and deforestation have caused this species to decline in the wild.

Water Chevrotain (Hyemoschus aquaticus)
Family: Chevrotain Family (Tragulidae)
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
Chevrotains like the Water Chevrotain are also known as mouse deer, and while they are related to and share certain characteristics with true deer (including an elongated skull, wet nose and complex four-chambered stomach used to break down tough vegetation) they also differ in several major ways (most notably the lack of antlers in males and the presence of four toes on each hoofed foot as apposed to the two seen in deer.) Among the largest chevrotain species (despite measuring only around 80cm/30 inches in length), Water Chevrotains are found in and around dense, humid rainforests in central and western Africa and are mainly active at night, spending the day resting among dense vegetation (with the stripes and spots in their fur helping to break up their outline and making them harder to spot, similarly to those seen in young true deer.) Timid, solitary and rarely seen by humans, members of this species feed mostly on fallen fruits (though they may also take leaves, shoots, small insects and carrion) and get their name from their habit of readily swimming to cross small rivers and diving underwater when startled, although they struggle to maintain prolonged swimming or diving. Although male Water Chevrotains lack antlers, they do possess large fangs protruding from their upper jaws which they may use to compete for territory and the attention of females.

Hey, don't cry. Smallest hoofed mammal in the world, ok?
Tumblr media
It's called the java mouse-deer, and it weighs about 1 to 2 kg (2.2 to 4.4 lbs) at maturity, making it roughly the size of a rabbit. Ok?

What's this? A chevrotain (aka mouse-deer). They're the smallest hoofed mammals on the planet.
