what a horrifying little creature. the pointy stick legs jutting out of the fat shapless body. Then those beady black eyes. Sorry guys, those things are not cute.
I had never seen one before until this morning... 2 of them... lying next to a load of chickens in the morning market here on Koh Samui, Thailand. Both had been shot for food. I only now know what they are because I looked them up in WIKI. Very very sad to see them like this. I know that some people havnt the luxury of choice for food, but these were being sold quite expensively... as a 'luxury' food. Sad.
Actually the mouse deer is not a true deer. They are in the same Order as deer, Artiodactyla, but they represent their own Family, Tragulidae, also known as Chevrotains. True deer, however, belong to the family Cervidae.
Regardless, I doubt this takes anything away from this remarkable animals cuteness.
they're amazing - it looks like their legs are too thin to hold them up! Thanks for posting this. Nice music for it too. :-)

Please Google "Pygmy Deer" to see a baby Mouse-deer photographed in 1967 during the Vietnam War. You must see it. I love the video and music!
