Bornean yellow muntjac

The Bornean yellow muntjac (Muntiacus atherodes) is a muntjac deer species, endemic to the moist forests of the island of Borneo.

Taxonomy
It lives alongside the common muntjac. It is similar to its much more common cousin and was only recognised as a separate species in 1982.

Description
Apart from the color difference, its antlers, which are just 7 cm in length, are smaller than those of the common muntjac. It has not been extensively studied and has been described as a relict species.

Ecology
This muntjac species is a potential prey of the Bornean tiger.
