Flicking through a nature book at the Rainbow Lodge I came across this incredible animal which is apparently indigenous to Cambodia and neighbouring countries - the Lesser Mouse Deer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesser_Mouse-deer). It's the smallest hoofed mammal in the world and grows to a magnificent 45cm long, weighing approximately 2kg. It looks like it would be scared of it's own shadow and as a result we didn't see any in the Cardamom's. It's not really my spirit animal (i'm a tiger grrr), but I did find it really intriguing.
