Cute litte mammals

1. 

Lesser mouse-deer is found widely across Southeast Asia, Burma, Brunei, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. It is the smallest known hoofed mammal, its mature size being as little as 18 inches ((45 cm)) and 4.4 lb ((2 kg)). It is threatened by predation by feral dogs.

2. 

Pallas cat is a small wild cat with a broad but fragmented distribution in the grasslands and montane steppes of Central Asia. Its body is 18 to 26 inches ((46 to 65 cm)) long and its tail 8.3 to 12.2 inches ((21 to 31 cm)). It weights 5.5 to 10 lb ((2.5 to 4.5 kg)). The combination of its stocky posture and long, dense fur makes it appear stout and plush. Its fur is ochre with dark vertical bars on the torso and forelegs. The winter coat is greyer and less patterned than the summer coat. Pallas's cats are solitary. Both males and females scent mark their territory. They spend the day in caves, rock crevices, or marmot burrows, and emerge in the late afternoon to begin hunting. They are not fast runners, and hunt primarily by ambush or stalking, using low vegetation and rocky terrain for cover.

The stoat does not dig its own burrows, instead using the burrows and nest chambers of the rodents it kills. The skins and underfur of rodent prey are used to line the nest chamber. The nest chamber is sometimes located in seemingly unsuitable places, such as among logs piled against the walls of houses. The stoat also inhabits old and rotting stumps, under tree roots, in heaps of brushwood, haystacks, in bog hummocks, in the cracks of vacant mud buildings, in rock piles, rock clefts, and even in magpie nests. Males and females typically live apart, but close to each other. They can be found in North America, Europe, and Asia, from Greenland and the Canadian and Siberian Arctic islands south to about 35°N. Stoats in North America are found throughout Alaska and Canada south through most of the northern United States to central California, northern Arizona, northern New Mexico, Iowa, the Great Lakes region, New England, and Pennsylvania, but are absent from most of the Great Plains, and the Southeastern United States. The stoat in Europe is found as far south as 41ºN in Portugal, and inhabits most islands with the exception of Iceland, Svalbard, the Mediterranean islands and some small North Atlantic islands. In Japan, it is present in central mountains ((northern and central Japan Alps)) to northern part of Honshu and Hokkaido. Its vertical range is from sea level to 3,000 m.
