is one of the most darkly-colored chevrotains, with an overall dark brown coat. The upperparts are broadly washed with black, and the neck is mixed black and fulvous. Each individual hair has sections of different colors. The base is generally pale, ranging from white to ashy brown, the mid-section is tawny, orange, or brown, and there is a long black tip. The abdominal region is generally orange-brown in color. The lower abdomen, groin, and insides of the thighs are white. The hindlegs have a white stripe on the front that extends from the upper thigh to the tarsal joint; the rest of the leg is fulvous in color. The inner surfaces of the front legs are white, and this coloration extends across the chest in between the front legs as a whitish patch. The tail is dark brown with a white tip. The most striking markings of the Balabac Chevrotain are on the throat, with three narrow white stripes beginning from a white patch under the chin and extending down towards the chest. In contrast to these white stripes, the rest of the throat is jet black; in some specimens the black coloration even overtakes and obscures the stripes. Towards the chest, these black and white markings disappear into a broad brown band that crosses the lower throat. The head itself is generally darker in color than the rest of the body. Broad rufous or fulvous eyebrow stripes extend from the anterior corners of the eyes to the base of ears. The bridge of the nose and forehead are dark brown, becoming increasingly infused with black towards the crown of the head. The sides of the head are more fulvous. A naked glandular patch on underside of the jaw is bordered with white, which runs into the white patch at the top of the throat. Dental formula is 10/3,C1/1,P3/3,M 3/3 (x2)= 34.

inhabits both primary and secondary forests as well as shrubland on Balabac Island, using both large blocks of forest and smaller fragments. It may frequent mangroves and more open areas to forage. Dense vegetation within the forest interior provides shelter for this species during the daytime.

feeds mostly on leaves, which would set it aside from most other chevrotain species, which are primarily frugivorous. One photograph of a captive animal shows it feeding on grass-like leaves, which would confirm the above observation.

There is apparently a distinct breeding season, but it is unclear when this occurs and whether it coincides with the distinct dry and wet seasons in the species’ range. Litter size is reportedly almost always one, rarely two.

Reported to be nocturnal. These chevrotains leave their shaded resting spots at night, entering into clearings to feed. Most encounters between humans and the Balabac Chevrotain occur along roads at night, when their eye shine is frequently observed from vehicles.

Classified as Endangered on The IUCN Red List, and is probably the most range-restricted of all chevrotain species. The species is subject to poaching for food, using guns or snares, and there is minor domestic trade in live animals for local zoos and private collectors. The species is also affected by habitat loss due to conversion of former habitat to coconut plantations and other agriculture.
