At last,some half decent pics of a Muntjac.Are they really deer at all ?I wonder
every time i look at their strangely composed bodys,still,they are tough little buggers and they,ve been very successful at spreading through the country from the Midlands.I remember them from Oxfordshire in the mid"80,s and they were virtually unheard of anywhere else,escapees i think they were.However they have failed to penetrate a 10by10 sq.mile block of country to the south of Horsham for some reason,10 years ago i found the odd track from them (they,ve got very tiny,petite hooves)but since then nothing,very mysterious,must be something to do with the type of cover they require as it is with most animals.Ignore the dates on the pics unless you want to add 33 days......
