Northern red muntjac

Mammals

The northern red muntjac, Muntiacus vaginalis, is a muntjac found in numerous countries of south-central and southeast Asia. It was recently separated from the southern red muntjac, formerly known as the Indian muntjac, and includes the populations once attributed to Muntiacus muntjak that live outside Sunda and perhaps Malaysia. It occurs in twelve countries, from Pakistan, Bhutan, Nepal and India to China, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam, and in Hong Kong. It lives in many forest types, from tropical rainforest to deciduous and evergreen forest, and adapts to secondary forest and altered landscapes. Males have short antlers and elongated upper canines, and the species is known for bark-like alarm calls. The IUCN lists it as Least Concern, although hunting and habitat degradation are reducing numbers.
