Lesser Mouse-deer
The Lesser Mouse-deer, Lesser Malay Chevrotain, or Kanchil (Tragulus kanchil) is a species of even-toed ungulate in the family Tragulidae. This shy, diminutive, even-toed ungulate, measures less than 50 cm long from head to tail. It ekes a living on the floor of primary & secondary forests feeding on leaves, shoots, fruits and sometimes fungi & is mainly crepuscular (i.e. active early morning and late afternoon), but is sometimes nocturnal.
