What’s that? Oh, Just one of the world’s tiniest ungulates having a little splishy splash~

Lesser mouse-deer Tragulus kanchil

They're the smallest ungulate in the word .

I've done two species so far, but for you I'll do the smallest species!

Indian Mouse Deer or Indian Chevrotain (Moschiola indica), family Tragulidae, order Artiodactyla, Kerala, India

Mouse deer, also called Chevrotains (Tragulidae) are the smallest ungulates in the world. There are several species in Asia and one in Africa.

They are shy and secretive, rarely seen

They have elongated canine teeth, especially in males, which are used in combat

Is that a deer or a mouse? It's a lesser mouse-deer! This species is one of the smallest hoofed animals, second only to its cousin, the Java mouse-deer. Lesser mouse deer stand only 45 cm (18 inches) at the shoulder and weigh less than 2 kg (4.4 lb). This makes it easy prey for animals like clouded leopards, large snakes, and birds of prey.
