Fascinating to see how different these deer look from our Columbian blacktailed deer!
Bucks grow to 44 – 52cm at the shoulder and weigh 10 – 18kg. Does are 43 – 52cm at the shoulder and weigh 9 – 16kg. Reeves’ muntjac are small, stocky and russet brown in colour in summer and grey/brown in winter. Bucks have short (10 cm) antlers growing from long pedicles.
Very different indeed! Much smaller than ours. Hard to know if ours would even recognize yours as cousins! 🙂
I have never heard of this creature!
I’m glad that you have leant something useful from my blog, Roger.
