Nice shot! Muntjac deer have naturalized in parts of Britain too. I used to lose a few plants to them in my garden in Surrey! Welcome to Project Noah Dawn!

Jungle resorts is in the same vicinity as herbivore park...This must have strayed in from the National park right behind.. Thanks :)

Just curious as I did not know they kept Barking Deer in the herbivore park there..Normally in the wild these are very shy..

You can edit your spotting add Binomial name or Scientific name and save it.
