      My chevrotain has about 10,000 miles on it, which doesn’t sound like much until you realize it’s only 4 inches tall, but it’s reliable and gets me where I want to go, which is home, because I don’t want to be around people.

      Probably more etymologically so as you might expect.

      You’re probably thinking of Chevrolet, which is derived from chevreuil, french for a deer.

      Wow. The chevrotain is much larger than I imagined it. I love how elegant it moves through the forest and the water. Is it me, or does its tail almost look flat like a beavers? And they use it to help guide themselves under water?

    I am almost 40 years old yet each year I learn of a new animal that makes me go “what the fuck is that”
