Description
One of the commonest deers in England since it was introduced here is the Muntjac, though shy and secretive it has survived well due to a natural ability to resist certain parasites that often afflict other deer, it is one of the oldest species of deer as can be seen from its two long canine teeth or tusks..
Muntjac bucks have long pedicles from which relatively small antlers grow. Normally a single backward curved antler up to 10 cm in length and terminating in a small hook is grown from each pedicle, although exceptionally a buck

hmm - interesting read and a very sharp shot! I always thought canine teeth were for carnivores, and as far as i know deer dont hunt or scavenge. That would be a weird sight! ;) Thanks for sharing!
Very good portrait and lovely details and colours. Beautiful photo
Again your fine photo and bio. Good work Danny. thanx ;-)
What a stunner Dan,is that tom(falnnelamn)?!Well the removal vans all rusty but hey I can tow it.lol!See you pal,cal
magnifique!!! excellent photo...
very interesting.....
this must be ZOOM IN...for the best result...super sharp and great details...well seen...
Fascinating! A buck I may never see in my life. Excellent detail of the tusks.
Magnificent! The tusks are wonderful. I noticed the different placement of the antlers right off - like on pedastals. The squarer frame to the head shows a heavier skull bone and jaw - all indicators of a long-surviving species with a good constitution. Love this and thanks for putting it out there so I could inspect it. You did a wonderful job of making this real for me.
Very interesting info about this strange buck... those tusks are so odd... Thanks for sharing, always nice to see things you haven't known about.. Oh, and a great crisp capture as well, btw. 8;o)
Your commentary is really fantastic as is the shot of the beautiful creature. Thank you for both, as so many of us have never seen anything like this and had no idea that there was a species of deer like this. HUGS!!!
A most unique looking deer. CC
Excellent work, so much details, marvelous!!
Excellent detail on this weird but beautiful animal. Thanks !
I remember when I was young, a friend of mine was called Muntjac (scout totem) and I always wanted to see this animal and now, you upload this outstanding portrait of the Barking Deer introduced in England by Reeves ! Thank you Danny, also for the detailed explanation ! I will keep this image in my favs ! :~)
Wow! Never knew they had those fierce looking teeth. Excellent. Aloha

What a fantastic animal - I never see that one! Super shot!!!
I've never seen one of these before. Nice comppsition. Thank you for the detailed description, it was very informative. John
If you replace the fur with scales, it would look like a dragon..great pic..
Very interesting info. Thanks. A wonderful photo. Thanks again. I don't believe I have ever heard of this species of deer.
I'm actually more curious about his eyes,particularly,the inside corner,where one assumes the tear ducts are.They are quite exaggerated and shaped most strangely.I am wondering why.I'm sure there's a reason for it.There always is...Sorry.Please,forgive my musings.That's just me...Interesting photo.Thanks for the info and the pic, Danny.Your uploads are always a learning experience.-M :^)
Unusual deer ... excellent capture!
