Muntjac Deer
Muntiacus
Muntjac Deer was introduced to Woburn Park in Bedfordshire from China during the early 1900s. These tiny deer can now be found across most of South East England after some escaped. Males known as 'Bucks' have short, unbranched, sloping-backward antlers that regrow, and a pair of long canine teeth. Although males have antlers they tend to fight for territory using their teeth. There is no seasonal rut. Females known as 'Does' can breed all year-round normally bearing only one 'Kid' at a time.
