The Indian spotted chevrotain is a small even-toed ungulate in the family Tragulidae. It is native to India and possibly Nepal, lives in rainforest and is nocturnal. The body is about 57.5 cm long with a tail of only 2.5 cm, and it weighs about 3 kg (Wikipedia, general species account).

It was earlier included under the name Tragulus meminna, but studies of the group's systematics restricted that name to the Sri Lankan spotted chevrotain. The cached account is only a few lines long, so this entry has no information on diet, breeding or where in India it is found (Wikipedia, general species account).
