We've all seen a muntjac at the side of the road in the UK, right? And therefore it is probably easy to take this species (or family of species) for granted. But have you ever heard of the large-antlered muntjac? No one really has, certainly as they were only scientifically described in the 1990s.
In this episode I am joined by Dr. Andrew Tilker and we dive into the world of the large-antlered muntjac and by the end of the episode we will have discussed: 1. What we know about the large-antlered muntjac. 2. an overview of what the current plans for their conservation are. 3. Andrew's conservation journey
