Close encounters with a Buck Muntjac. (1 Viewer)

[KenM]

Muntjacs have been appearing in the garden for several years now and this one at first covertly, then became a little bolder, whereupon I was afforded some shots albeit unbeknowingly to the subject.

However what surprised me were the canines (teeth), visibly showing! Probably a mark of my observational skills for not noticing previously. :eek!:

Don't know if this is an adult male feature or not?

Cheers

Looks like male and female skulls are very different

I get quite a few in the countryside where I live but that's great to see them in such close proximity to the City..
