In the year after the outbreak, the mouse-deer population quintupled to 293 individuals per sq km between 2019 and 2024."

The barista at the Villa Bagatelle drew a Mouse Deer on the coffee for us 😄😄😄

(Mouse Deer is the mascot of the book of trickster folktales I wrote for the Világszép Foundation for Children in State Care)

Today my mousedeer drawings went from patternnprint and hoodie sewing straight to a proffesional photoshoot.
Soon my wife's online store will be launched where any geek and nerd can buy such a cool hoodie !
I'm feeling proud and excited !

#WildlifeWednesday A pair of Lesser Mousedeer (Tragulus kanchil) resting in the undergrowth along the edge of a small wooded patch near Singapore's Central Catchment Nature Reserve. Once considered Critically Endangered in Singapore, this species seems to have made a recovery since the 1990s.
