Muntjac deer, also known as barking deer, are small, solitary deer native to South and Southeast Asia, with some species introduced to parts of Europe. Recognized by their compact size, reddish-brown coats, and short antlers, they are named for their distinctive barking sound, which they use as an alarm call. These adaptable herbivores thrive in forests and dense vegetation, feeding on fruits, shoots, and leaves. Muntjacs are one of the oldest deer species, with fossils dating back millions of years, making them a fascinating link to the evolutionary history of deer. Credit unknown Please DM us for credit
