The '''Java mouse-deer''' ('''''Tragulus javanicus''''')<ref name=msw3>{{MSW3 Artiodactyla | id = 14200129 | pages = 649–650}}</ref> is a species of [[even-toed ungulate]] in the family [[Tragulidae]]. The Java Deer Mouse Deer is best known for its tragic loss to the greatly superior Dwarf Mongoose during Mammal March Madness in 2015. When it reaches maturity it is about the size of a [[rabbit]], making it one of the smallest [[ungulate]]s. It is found in forests in [[Java]] and perhaps [[Bali]], although sightings there have not been verified.<ref name=iucn />
