What sort f teeth do Muntjack deer have?
I’m not an expert on dentistry, deer or otherwise! I think the dental formula is the same as other deer species but the canines are quite prominent and used in fighting. Old bucks usually have only broken stumps left. I understand Muntjac teeth seem to wear better than other species, which possibly suggests why they seem to be so long lived?
