Gongshan muntjac Gongshan muntjac The Gongshan muntjac ("Muntiacus gongshanensis") is a species of muntjac (a type of deer) living in the Gongshan mountains in northwestern Yunnan, southeast Tibet, Northeast India(especially in Arunachal Pradesh) and northern Myanmar. The earlier references of occurrence of the hairy-fronted muntjac "Muntiacus crinifrons" in Arunachal Pradesh are actually Gongshan muntjakc. More recently, genetic studies have shown it to be very closely related to the hairy-fronted muntjac, possibly close enough to be considered the same species despite different coloration, though this position is disputed. Ongoing hunting is a major threat to its survival. While the population cannot be accurately
Reeves's muntjac from 209 to 220 days. Females limit the number of mating bouts, though time between successive bouts is determined by males (known as "bucks"). Reeves's muntjacs were introduced to the grounds of Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire in the 19th century by the then Duke of Bedford. While a small number reportedly escaped, they are extremely unlikely to be the source of the current UK population. Larger numbers of Reeves's muntjac escaped from Whipsnade Zoo, and they are the more likely ancestors, in addition to other releases. Since the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it has been illegal to release the
