Chevrotains, also known as mouse-deer, are small ungulates that make up the familyTragulidae, the only members of the infraorder Tragulina. The 10 extant species are in three genera, but several species also are known only from fossils. The extant species are found in forests in South and Southeast Asia, with a single species in the rainforests of Central and West Africa. They are solitary or live in pairs, and feed almost exclusively on plant material. Depending on exact species, the Asian species weigh between 0.7 and 8.0kg (1.5 and 17.6lb), and include the smallest ungulates in the world. The African chevrotain is considerably larger at 7–16kg (15–35lb).
Etymology
The word chevrotain is French, and can be translated as "little goat".
The single African species is consistently known as chevrotain. The names chevrotain and mouse-deer have been used interchangeably among the Asian species, though recent authorities typically have preferred chevrotain for the species in the genus Moschiola and mouse-deer for the species in the genus Tragulus. Consequently, all species with pale-spotted or -striped upper parts are known as chevrotains, and all the species without are known as mouse-deer.
The Chevrotain is the smallest hoofed animal in the world. It also has fangs.

Chevrotain - The Shy Vampires of Asia
Chevrotains, or mouse-deer, are small even-toed ungulates that make up the family Tragulidae. They have primitive features, closer to nonruminants such as pigs. All species in the family lack antlers and horns, but both sexes have elongated canine teeth. These are especially prominent in males, where they project out on either side of the lower jaw, and are used in fights. Enjoy!:)

Rare Albino Chevrotain Saved from Predators
Video- Rare Albino Chevrotain Saved from Predators.
Chevrotains, also known as mouse-deer, are small ungulates that make up the family Tragulidae. Chevrotains are the smallest hoofed mammals in the world. The Asian species weigh between 0.7 and 8.0 kg (1.5 and 17.6 lb), while the African chevrotain is considerably larger at 7–16 kg (15–35 lb).
Villagers spotted this amazing and rare chevrotain within a rural village in Polonnaruwa, and they immediately recognized the value of securing this innocent animal from hunters and other dangerous animals in the wild. Wildlife officers were able to retrieve this Chevrotain to be taken to a safer location with no predators.

The 10 extant species are in three genera, but several species also are known only from fossils. The extant species are found in forests in South and Southeast Asia, with a single species in the rainforests of Central and West Africa.

The African chevrotain is considerably larger at 7–16kg (15–35lb).
Etymology
The word chevrotain is French, and can be translated as "little goat".
The single African species is consistently known as chevrotain. The names chevrotain and mouse-deer have been used interchangeably among the Asian species, though recent authorities typically have preferred chevrotain for the species in the genus Moschiola and mouse-deer for the species in the genus Tragulus. Consequently, all species with pale-spotted or -striped upper parts are known as chevrotains, and all the species without are known as mouse-deer.
