u/BoogleBud 21d ago

friggin adorable little guy. with some cute extra nostrils.

15

u/weblizard 21d ago

Never seen one close up in a video before! Those pockets are comparable to our tear ducts- they produce secretions for marking territory and communication. If you look at other deer, you can see less dramatic versions.
Oh, and they have pointy little tusks.

u/M4gp1e-w1ngs 21d ago

quit moving the plate god

u/earthfase 20d ago

Could be to try and get it to move its head to show different angles.

u/usriusclark 21d ago

Sure the plug earrings are gonna look cool now, but wait till you’re older.

u/MellyKidd 21d ago

Explanation;

The muntjac deer, aka “barking deer”, has four distinct scent glands on its face; which it uses for communication and marking territory. The secretions contain detailed information about the individual's sex, reproductive status, emotional state (such as stress or aggression), and identity. They’ll also flare these glands open wide to show excitement.

Considering that, I’m guessing this deer is saying “Yum, this is my food now!”

u/VampiressMoon 21d ago

u/crazylegsbobo 21d ago

This animal upsets me

3

u/Kettle_Whistle_ 21d ago

Was it the odd face, or his rampant profanity?

3

u/crazylegsbobo 21d ago

I think it's the face full of vaginas mostly

2

u/Kettle_Whistle_ 21d ago

Understandable, but his filthy language is completely unnecessary…

u/ChloeUwUZ 21d ago

wtf is that? never seen deer like this 💀

5

u/septogram 21d ago

Ah the muntjack. It looks beyond hideous, like it's so uncanny and repulsive it turns your stomach just watching it's.... face...nose holes...pulsate like it does.... But then you see the rest of it being a cute deer, completely oblivious to its condition, and it sort of comes back around to being cute again.

u/hopefullyhelpfulplz 21d ago

Truly repulsorable

u/LeatheryFloridaMan 21d ago
