Still Waters

Recommended Posts

The newborn deer weighed 100 grams and was described as "no bigger than a hamster" by staff at the Bioparc Fuengirola in the south of Spain .

Adult members of the rarely seen Tragulus javanicus species rarely weigh over a kilo but, despite their name, grow to the size of small rabbits.

Seeings as they are not that big to start with, I could not see the mother giving birth to a normal baby deer which can weigh between 4 and 8 pounds.

Ouch!

This would seem to be a good animal to breed for the pet trade, it would take the pressure off wild populations, and a portion of the healthy adults could be re-introduced to the wild in suitable habitats. Probably similar to keeping a pet rabbit.

It is really cute looking. Kinda shrew-like in appearance but moreover it looks sort of like something one might find in a book about prehistoric mammals.

Well, its current biological adaptations obviously allowed it to survive. They look so cuddly.
