Barking Muntjac

Normally these things run a mile when they see you, but this time it was uphill from me and I was already stooping low when it came into view and it was more inquisitive and, I presume, territorial. Of course, it ran away when I stood up at the end of the encounter, though it didn't go too far.

So it moves like stop motion, can turn its facial sensory organs inside out, and barks like a dog. This might be the most interesting terrestrial mammal ever.

I dreamt of one last night that approached me in the woods and then allowed me to stroke and feed it. I feel blessed. Thanks for this video, all but a few others seem to be on the topic of hunting them.

Awww the part at 0:45 is so cute! Stomping and barking and yelling “Hey bad guy! Go away!” 😂

[@tehrealcoralsnek7044]

It doesn't appear to realize that all of the intimidation factor of a deer is in the fact that they are large and it is two feet tall at the most

When deer stomp their feet like that its them giving you a warning,

Colorcane they’re trying to get you to move so they can assess the danger Still, if a deer screamed at me like that I’d get the hell out of dodge

[@TeamBiird]

Barry Neilsen they’re pretty tiny though right? It wouldn’t try to attack you or anything if it saw you stand up

[@Nemoawnz]

The glands are unsettling, but this seems like a very beautiful creature to me.

[@WyeExplorer]

I've just produced a woodland camp video, which features a Muntjac barking and I wanted to confirm it. This has done that superbly. Thanks for sharing. Awesome. Mark

[@BarryNeilsen]

Thank you. I just watched a couple of your videos and they've just made me realise how much I'm missing getting out on some proper footpaths at the moment :(

[@AndysEastCoastAdventures]

It also might be a fox. They sound almost identical. Caught a few in my wild camping videos too. Goes on all night sometimes. Always wear earplugs now.

[@WyeExplorer]

@@AndysEastCoastAdventures You might have a point there.

[@dodo5736]

Thank you for showing this. Although I live in a fairly built up area, I was told that a Muntjac deer was seen in the nearby park. I have heard this barking at night and I knew it was not a fox and suspected it might be a deer. Hearing this video now I know that is what I hear.

[@madjack821]

That sounds almost identical to a fox!

[@frostbytegamez3426]

It sounds like my dog lol

[@sebfleebee]

Wonder if this is coincidence or has evolved to sound like a fox

Foxes usually scream though

[@NimLeeGuy]

It's the female foxes scream. Fox bark higher in pitch than muntjac.

Dayum. I didn't know a deer could make such a racket. (I came to watch this video because I just read that a debunker of the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident wrote that it was partly caused by the uncanny sounds made by a muntjac deer.)

[@NimLeeGuy]

I thought i was hearing foxes, now I know it was muntjac

[@caseyogden7105]

muntjacs are genuinely so cute why do people hate them so much

[@davelambourne4]

I had one of these outside our lodge. 3am I heard that. Run outside and chased it, cornered it. Was shaking like a leaf the poor little thing. Bark worst than it’s bite. Had no idea what it was though. They do what you don’t dare do people! 🎵 we own the night ✡️

[@BarryNeilsen]

Back when I lived near those woods, getting on for twenty years ago, they used to come into our garden. One day we disturbed one that was sleeping. When it woke up and saw us it was terrified. As it happened we'd inadvertently blocked its escape route. It ran in several different directions trying to find a way out, slamming into fences. It's a wonder it didn't injur itself. Finally it found a bit of fence it could jump over and that was the last we saw of it.

[@elschaetty]

[@BarryNeilsen]

It does look glitchy. It was shot nearly a decade ago on one of the first Sony DV camcorders. I bought it new in the last millennium! Image stabilisation was primitive and accounts for some of the glitches. More, I don’t even remember what software I used to capture to PC and upload it. It would have been cheap or free. Frame rate conversion if it happened would have made it more glitchy. (I’m in the UK so it would have been PAL/25 FPS and I don’t know how KZbin processed that six years ago.)
