My, what big eyes you have …
Tragulus javanicus ♂
This small animal is about the same size as a rabbit and is the smallest living artiodactyl (even-toed ungulate).
Found throughout Malaysia, Cambodia, south-western China, Indonesia, Borneo, Laos, Myanmar, Singapore, and Thailand, they are active primarily at night, hence the huge eyes.
This species is hunted for its smooth skin, which is used for the production of leather goods such as wallets and handbags.
Hunting along with habitat destruction has resulted in the species being classified as Threatened.
Despite its name it is neither a mouse nor a deer.
