The Java mouse-deer (Tragulus javanicus),[2] is a species of even-toed ungulate in the Tragulidae family. At maturity it is about the size of a rabbit, making it one of the smallest ungulates. It is found in forests in Java and perhaps Bali.[1] It formerly included the more widespread T. kanchil and the poorly known T. williamsoni as a subspecies.[3]
