I don't know if this is a subspecies or a seperate species. I'm no taxonomist but since it is endemic in just one island while Tragalus napu has a larger range, it might be a separate species. Lenticel06:05, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, I removed this for being unreliable and without source:
" The natives of the Philippines believe the Philippine mouse-deer has a mutual relationship with a species of python; according to them, when the Philippine mouse-deer is hunted by a natural predator or by humans with the aid of dogs, it will hide in a burrow, and when the predator comes by, the python will eat the predator."
