Mouse or deer? The chevrotain or mouse deer (family Tragulidae) is one of the world’s smallest ungulates.

Instead, males rely on fang-like canine teeth to defend themselves from foes. This species can be seen in parts of Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, where it enjoys a diet that includes fungi and fallen fruit.
