The lesser mousedeer is the world's smallest hoofed animal. Listed as critically endangered in Singapore, this shy creature is restricted to our nature reserves.
Once thought to be extinct in Singapore, the greater mousedeer was resighted on Pulau Ubin after an absence of more than 80 years. Subsequent studies confirmed its surprising comeback.
