Meet muntjacs, the bark-voiced deer of Asia. We explore their tiny size, elongated upper canines, small antlers, and scent-marking glands; their omnivorous diet and rapid reproduction; and the genomic bombshell: the southern red muntjac's rapid chromosome fusion yields just six chromosomes in females (seven in males), a record of extreme genomic plasticity that coexists with ecological success.
