This shows how large (or small) a mouse-deer really is!
Wikipedia: Chevrotains, or mouse-deer, are diminutive, even-toed ungulates that make up the family Tragulidae, and are the only living members of the infraorder Tragulina. The 10 extant species are placed in three genera, but several species also are known only from fossils. The extant species are found in forests in South and Southeast Asia; a single species, the water chevrotain, is found in the rainforests of Central and West Africa. In November 2019, conservation scientists announced that they had photographed silver-backed chevrotains (Tragulus versicolor) in a Vietnamese forest for the first time since the last confirmed sightings in 1990.
Conservation status: Threatened
We came across this Lesser Mouse-deer on a night drive in Deramakot. It's recorded as being the smallest known hoofed mammal weighing in at 2kg.
It's difficult from this shot to appreciate how small it is as it looks to be coming out of thick jungle but it's not this is a roadside verge.
Wikipedia: The lesser mouse-deer, lesser Malay chevrotain, or kanchil (Tragulus kanchil) is a species of even-toed ungulate in the family Tragulidae. The lesser mouse-deer is found widely across Southeast Asia in Indochina, Burma (Kra Isthmus), Brunei, Cambodia, China (Southern Yunnan), Indonesia (Kalimantan, Sumatra and many other small islands), Laos, Malaysia (Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak and many other small islands), Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. It is the smallest known hoofed mammal, its mature size being as little as 45 cm (18 inches) and 2 kg (4.4 lb). It is threatened by predation by feral dogs.

The highlight of my trip beside the sambar deer (with nice antler) which I had no chance to snap any photo. They sure run fast. However, there were altogether 4 separate encounters with the Malay Lesser Mousedeer that night, this particular mousedeer wasn't as skittish as the others. It allows me to get quite close before eventually taking off.
It can be interesting to see the difference in nature and wildlife between day and night at the same area.
At the Mandai T15 trail, some small species, such as this one here, do usually appear both in the day and night, but others, such as the mousedeer and tree frog, sometimes are more visible only in the night when they are more active.

#DoodlewashSeptember2023 prompt: Mouse Deer. Did you know despite their name, the 10-lb Mouse Deer is neither mouse nor deer, but is the only living member of the family Tragulidae, and the smallest known hoofed mammal in the world?
I almost tossed this one. I managed to dump nearly a whole cup of water on it (I know. I do that a lot) but decided I’d try to save it. Totally not the direction I was going for, but I think it came out all right considering what it went through, lol.

Greater Mouse Deer (Tragulus napu), photographed by camera trap. Batang Ai National Park, Sarawak, Malaysia (Borneo).
The smallest of the 12 deer species found in India, Chevrotain or Mouse Deers are elusive folks living their entire life in the forest's undergrowth, finding food. Chevrotains prefer riverine forests as their habitat. These little guys are around for 34 million years and when I took this snap they were having lunch.

Singapore Zoo
Taken from official website
Since 1973, Singapore Zoo has been known for having among the most beautiful wildlife park settings in the world, where animals roam freely in open and naturalistic habitats.
Nine-time winner of the coveted Best Leisure Attraction Experience award by the Singapore Tourism Board, our 26-hectare wildlife park is nestled within the lush Mandai rainforest that stretches into the magnificent Upper Seletar Reservoir. More than 2,800 animals representing over 300 species of mammals, birds and reptiles call Singapore Zoo home.
Giraffe Feeding Many of our animal habitats incorporate special viewing features such as elevated platforms to view our giraffe exhibit, underwater galleries to see the watery worlds of our otters, pygmy hippos and giant estuarine crocodiles, as well as glass observatories to see animals such as the predatory cheetahs and lions. On top of the fascinating perspective of the animals, you get to view them in environments that have been thoughtfully built and landscaped after their habitats in the wild.
Great Rift Valley of Ethiopia Our award-winning park is also big on immersive experiences. Whether you travel onboard one of our guided trams or trek on foot at your own leisurely pace, your experience will take you through some of the most distinctive global wildlife habitats of the world - from the savannah grasslands of Wild Africa where lions, zebras and rhinoceroses roam, to the rugged canyons of the Great Rift Valley of Ethiopia where our colony of Hamadryas baboons call home.
Fragile Forest Singapore Zoo is also well-known for its walk-through exhibits that bring animals and visitors together in one space for incredibly intimate encounters. Stroll right into the home of free-ranging kangaroos and have them eating out of your palms at our Australian Outback. Wander into the spectacular diversity of the Fragile Forest where flying foxes soar freely, mousedeers tread gingerly across your path, and ring-tailed lemurs bask in full view on the open sundeck.
Jungle Breakfast with Wildlife For early risers, you’ll want to make time for our award-winning Jungle Breakfast with Wildlife programme not available anywhere else in Asia. Not only will you be treated to a scrumptious international buffet experience, but you’ll also be having it in the company of our family of free-ranging orang utans. In fact, we are the first zoo in the world with a free-ranging orang utan habitat that features the charismatic apes in natural surroundings.
Little ones will have a field day at the Rainforest Kidzworld where they can enjoy a splashing fun time at our wet play area, ride ponies or play and learn in this enriching zone.
Elephants at Work and Play Show But your experience doesn’t just stop there. Singapore Zoo’s animal shows like the Elephants at Work and Play Show have long been popular with families and our daily token feeding session give you the opportunity to see our residents at their most active.
Singapore Zoo is also a Learning Zoo - where the guest experience involves understanding the animals at a deeper level through well-designed and interactive educational displays. As a result of our extensive wildlife research programmes and collaborative efforts with the global community, the Singapore Zoo has been taking important strides in furthering our key goal to preserve biodiversity. Guided by our wildlife conservation policy, our successful animal breeding programme continues to see numerous significant births of endangered animals year after year.
Wildlife conservation and the preservation of biodiversity are goals we have made ours – to take with us as we create a world where more will be inspired to learn, appreciate and respect the animals, with whom we share our planet.
Over 1.6 million visitors come to Singapore Zoo every year. We’d love to see you soon!

Lesser mouse-deer
The lesser mouse-deer or kanchil (Tragulus kanchil), also known as the lesser Malay chevrotain, is a species of even-toed ungulate in the family Tragulidae.
The lesser mouse-deer is found widely across Southeast Asia in Indochina, Burma (Kra Isthmus), Brunei, Cambodia, China (Southern Yunnan), Indonesia (Kalimantan, Sumatra and many other small islands), Laos, Malaysia (Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak and many other small islands), Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
It is the smallest known hoofed mammal, its mature size being as little as 45 cm (18 inches) and 2 kg (4.4 lb). It is threatened by predation by feral dogs.
In an Indonesian and Malaysian folktale, the mouse-deer Sang Kancil wanted to cross the river to reach the fruit trees on the other side of the river, but Sang Buaya, the big bad crocodile was waiting in the river to eat him. Sang Kancil called to Sang Buaya and told him the king was inviting everyone to a feast, for which he needed to know how many crocodiles would be coming. Sang Kancil asked all the crocodiles to line up across the river, so he could count them for the king, and made them promise not to eat him as he counted. He then stepped on their heads, one by one, calling out "One! Two! Three!" as he went. When he reached the other side of the river he thanked them for helping him cross the river, and feasted on the delicious fruits, but Sang Buaya did not do so well, as all the other crocodiles were angry with him for letting Sang Kancil trick them.
one of the few animals that are tough to shoot. Really fast movement, 1/250th sec exposure not enough to freeze the chewing action :3
Palawan Philippines:
Palawan has been declared as a nature sanctuary of the world. It is wrapped in a mantel of rainforests, outstanding dive sites, majestic mountains, primeval caves, and pristine beaches. It is surrounded by a coral shelf that abounds with varied and colorful marine life. It boasts of exotic flora and fauna, like the mousedeer and the scaly anteater.
Palawan waters are among the best in the world, not only for diving but also for fishing. A diver's paradise, it has miles of sub-surface coral and rainbow reef walls which surround the coasts and coves teeming with rich marine life.
