Greater Mouse-deer (Tragulus napu), May 2015

Small Mammal House, May 13, 2015.
@Kevin2342 The original pair, Piper and Brandon, arrived from Bronx in late 2014 and were mixed with red ruffed lemurs and rock hyrax. Piper was soon pregnant, however she died near the end of her pregnancy due to internal organ damage caused by the fetus being in a breach position. Brandon continued to live in the same enclosure for several more years but was visibly less active after the baby lemurs grew up. I don't remember seeing him during my 2019 visits and the species is now listed as "not on exhibit" on the zoo's website.
