Mouse-deer, are small ungulates that make up the family Tragulidae, the only members of the

infraorder Tragulina. They are found mostly in forests in South and Southeast Asia, with a single species
in the rainforests of Central and West Africa.
Mouse-deer have primitive features, closer to non-ruminants such as pigs. All species in the
family lack of 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. Their legs are short and thin,
which make them lack in agility, but also helps them maintain a smaller profile to aid in running through
the dense foliage of their environments.
They are solitary or live in pairs. The young are weaned at three months of age, and reach sexual
maturity between five and 10 months. Parental care is relatively limited. Although they lack the types of
scent glands found in most other ruminants, they do have a chin gland for marking each other as mates or
antagonists, and, in the case of the water chevrotain, anal and preputial glands for marking territory. Their
territories are relatively small, on the order of 13–24 hectares (32–59 acres), but neighbors generally
ignore each other, rather than compete aggressively.
