Description
The Asiatic mouse deer comes from southwest Asia. Their range covers Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo. They live in warm, tropical places like moist lowland forests near rivers and muddy swamps. These tiny animals share their habitat with thick bushes and mangrove forests.
Green gras, leaves, sweet berries, and young saplings are their staple diet. They choose soft plant parts because they have poorly developed third stomach chamber. They chew cud just like deer to digest their meals. Some related species occasionally eat insects, crabs, and fish meat.
Mother mouse deer give birth in a quiet, secluded spot hidden deep within the thick tropical jungle brush. The fully formed baby hide immedialty in the forest bushes. The mother feeds her baby milk until it stops nursing at three months old. These creatures grow up fast and reach adulthood within five to ten months.

Mia, Chloe, Gus, and Ruby love to play hide-and-seek in the deep jungle brush. Mia dives under a huge green leaf. She fits easily because of her tiny size. She holds completely still and wins the first round.
Chloe, the Chinese water deer female skull replica, sneaks behind a muddy riverbank. Her long nose pokes out past the dirt wall. Ruby spots the cute little nose instantly. Ruby points at her and laughs with her friend.
Gus, the Gunther’s dik dik skull replica, dashes between the thick tree roots. He runs fast like a little rocket. He jumps out and surprises Ruby from behind. Ruby, the Reeves’s muntjac female skull replica, lets out a loud barking sound.
They all four end up on the holding their stomachs and rolling on the ground with laughter!
