===Habitat===
The Java mouse-deer prefers habitats of higher elevations and the tropical forest regions of Java, although it does appear at lower elevations between 400-700 meters above sea level <ref name=eof5/><ref>Strawder, N. (2000). ADW: Tragulus javanicus. ADW: Home. Retrieved from http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/accounts/Tragulus_javanicus/</ref>. During the day, Java mouse-deer can be seen roaming in crown-gap areas with dense undergrowth of creeping bamboo, through which they make tunnels through the thick vegetation which lead to resting places and feeding areas<ref name=superhero8/>. At night, the Java mouse-deer moves to higher and drier ridge areas<ref name=eof5/>. It has been argued that Java mouse-deer are an “edge” species, favoring areas of dense vegetation along riverbanks<ref name=eof5/>. Additionally, Java mouse-deer have been found to be more prevalent in logged areas than in the more mature forests, and their densities tended to decrease proportionately as the logged forests matured.
