Worlds Smallest Ungulate Spotted

most wanted lost list —
shy silver-backed chevrotain
this little mouse-deer
imagined in Vietnam
ungulate with hooves and fangs

Reason I used imagined because when they couldn’t locate one it felt like he must have been imagined.

I never heard of it. It does not sound as sweet as the unicorn!!

Real animal. They have located after 30 years.

Not heard of this little creature until now, Kim. Thanks for posting your take on it. Let's hope it doesn't become extinct. BTW, there's another tiny deer-like animal called a Tic-tic. Not sure if it's an ungulate, though. Thanks for reading me. / M
