Fea’s muntjac

Fea's muntjac is one of approximately seven species of small to medium-sized Asiatic deer belonging to the genus Muntiacus. These deer are commonly called barking deer due to their alarm call, which resembles a dog's bark. They are typically solitary, nocturnal, and prefer habitats with dense vegetation.12

Native to India, Southeast Asia, and southern China, some muntjac species have also established populations in parts of England and France. Fea's muntjac (M. feae), found in Myanmar and Thailand, is classified as an endangered species. Muntjacs generally stand between 15 to 25 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh 33 to 77 pounds. Males possess tusk-like upper canine teeth that can cause significant injury.1
