Mousedeer form the Tragulidae family of small even-toed ungulates in the mammalian order Artiodactyla. Other artiodactyl families include the deer, the pigs and the cattle. There are reportedly two species existing in Singapore: the lesser mousedeer (Tragulus kanchil) and the greater mousedeer (Tragulus napu). They have been recorded in the Central Catchment Area, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Pulau Ubin. The mousedeer is well known from Malay stories as the wily Sang Kancil who always manages to outwit large predators like the crocodile and the tiger.
