Deer have four hooves on each

Deer have four hooves on each foot! Each cloven "half" of the hoof counts as a separate hoof. Then the dewclaws. In total, deer have sixteen hooves.

Oh, and male musk deer are one of the only deer species where the males do not have antlers. Instead, they have long tusks.

Water chevrotains are smaller than a Jack Russel terrier.
