Mouse-Deers Look Like Badly Drawn Dogs And Twitter Can Not Even

Sometimes, you come across an animal online that just… makes you rethink everything. Like when you scroll through twitter and go- oh, this is why people associate Gerenuks with the devil. Or- good to know there are bugs who look like Picasso paintings, now we're definitely not scared of them. And also- ring-taild cats are not actually cats, well, thanks for that lie.

And then yesterday, casually scrolling through the twittersphere, the Chevrotain goes viral, and we lose it. Because it's a cute animal that looks simultaneously like a mix between a mouse and a deer and also like a horribly-drawn dog like the ones we drew in kindergarten. And twitter lost it too. And now, we, alongside all of twitter, want nothing more than to pet this little guy.

How is this somehow the most confusing animal we have ever encountered. And we have seen a lot of animals during out internet escapades, trust us. A mouse, a deer and a horribly drawn dog all at once. Nature really does manage to amaze us sometimes.

This feels like the start of a kid's comedy show where the two of you would have gone on weird adventures and fell in love. Truthfully, we are horribly sad that is not what happened between you guys, feels like a terribly missed opportunity for a Shakespearean-level love story.
