Edited. This is a mouse deer or Chevrotain, little funny creature living in the tropical forests of Africa, India, Sri Lanka, and South-east Asia. They try to keep low profile and have primitive features, closer to pigs. They also have short, thin legs which leave them lacking in agility but also helps to run through the dense foliage of their environment. Incredible! I have never heard or seen something like this before.
we malaysian call the creature 'kancil'... it is always characterized in folklore stories as a very bright and intelligent animal. one story described how the kancil tricked a group of brutal alligators and therefore crossed the river safely
