Did you know?
The Reeves’ muntjac, also known as the “barking deer,” gets its name from its distinctive call, which resembles the bark of a small dog, used to alert others in case of danger. This species exhibits pronounced sexual dimorphism: males, larger and heavier than females, have short antlers and long canine teeth that resemble tusks.
Threats and conservation
The Reeves’ muntjac is not currently endangered, but its population is declining. Human activities, such as agriculture and urbanization, contribute to the fragmentation of its natural environment. Additionally, it is hunted for its meat and skin, which puts additional pressure on wild populations.
