Everything about Muntjac Deer totally explained
Muntjac are
deer of the genus
Muntiacus, also known as
Barking Deer. Muntjac are the oldest known deer, appearing 15-35 million years ago, with remains found in
Miocene deposits in France and Germany.
The present-day species are native to
Southeast Asia and can be found from
India and
Sri Lanka to southern
China,
Taiwan and
Indonesian islands. Reeves's Muntjac has been introduced to
England and is now common in some areas there. Inhabiting tropical regions, the deer have no seasonal
rut and mating can take place at any time of year. However, this behaviour is retained by populations introduced to
temperate countries. Males have short antlers, which can regrow but they tend to fight for territory with their
tusks (downward pointing canine teeth).
Muntjac are of great interest in evolutionary studies because of their dramatic
chromosome variations and the recent discovery of several new species.
