It's so cute. I am overcome with an intense desire to snuggle the shit out of it.

 

[Tangeroo]

Me right now

 

[Panderp]

Quick clip of the lesser mouse deer.

and here's a small video of the actual Java newborns.

Aw! :'3

That's...completely adorable. I'll take one. Thanks.

 

[Incitemaybe]

Smart and cute?

Don't die little one.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Do they even lift?

 

[antonz]

Audrey knew what was up with pet deer though its not a mouse deer

 

[Volimar]

Endangered because OMG Mother Nature cant even.

 

[Betty]

I think I see why 'greater' mouse-deer got the name.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Goddamn mothernature. the shit you create...

It's not even cute.

Well at least I'm not alone.

I find it terrifying, like a mouse with longer legs, maybe is the way it moves, but it gives me the creeps.

Yeah... I wouldn't click that unless you want to see dead animals.

It's got some pretty gruesome pictures, most folk won't want to see that.

 

[akachan ningen]

Does it really have a cloven hoof?

 

[Golden Slumbers]

Thought the title said deer-sized hamster at first and got really excited. Still cool!

 

[-PXG-]

I want to eat it. I just do.

 

[HiResDes]

It's darling, look at how paranoid it seems to be too : P

 

[Oersted]

Great.

 

[XenodudeX]

I wonder what they taste like

 

[Arkos]

Meh, fair enough. That's where meat comes from, it's not pornographic or anything

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

Holy shit.

 

[NintendoRev]

Oh dear god it's adorable.

 

[BraXzy]

That looks like a made up CG creature someone put in a film set on a different planet. Either that, or a weird mutation between two species. How many of these are there?

Awesome. I want one!

 

[SwiftDeath]

This creature is amazing. I love it

Where do I order one?

 

[Kitsunebaby]

That...looks utterly delicious. I bet it tastes like a mixture between venison and rabbit.

 

[AuthenticM]

I read this as deer-sized hamster and got way more excited

Same. I got terrified for a second.

 

[Madness]

bummer...

Yeah its quite ridiculous. Will probably be extinct in our lifetime.

 

[MarkusRJR]

Holy shit. This is absolutely adorable. Please tell me there are currently efforts to save the species.

 

[Parakeetman]

woah thats pretty crazy. had no idea this species existed. cool stuff op!

 

[Betty]

Holy shit. This is absolutely adorable. Please tell me there are currently efforts to save the species.

The baby mouse-deer is the eighth to be born in Fuengirola, which is running a programme to breed the rare species.

.

Again, the mouse-deer species aren't endangered, so says wiki at least, just this particular type, which there are less than 50 of.

 

[Toa TAK]

That...looks utterly delicious. I bet it tastes like a mixture between venison and rabbit.

Don't ruin this for us!

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

It's adorable and I want one. So sad they are endangered.

 

[lethial]

Does it really have a cloven hoof?

No they're just lying.

 

[Mook1e]

****Warning, mouse deer being cut up for supper!****

They're really cute.
They're really weird.
They're really delicious.
I've had their African cousins curried with beans, rice, and sriracha!

Yeah, sorry, edited.

 

[-PXG-]

I'm serious. I'd eat this little bastard if I saw one. Just dunk that little fucker's entire body in a vat of BBQ sauce and bite right into it. On nom nom nom nom.

 

[saunderez]

I didn't know rats knew how to use stilts....learn something new every day.

 

[RadarScope1]

I read this as deer-sized hamster and got way more excited

LOL

 

[-Deimos]

Me too.

Their legs look like little twigs. How the hell do they manage not to break them?

 

[Stet]

Now that the Internet has found them, the species can quietly expire in midwestern American captivity!

 

[Clydefrog]

It's like a wingless bat... with four feet

 

[tensuke]

Um...I need this.
