Roosevelt's Muntjac
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Artiodactyla
Family: Cervidae
Genus: Muntiacus
Species: Rooseveltorum
Binomial name
Muntiacus Rooseveltorum
(, )

A single specimen of the Roosevelt's Muntjac was presented to the Field Museum in 1929 following a hunting expedition led by Theodore (Jnr) and Kermit Roosevelt. The specimen is slightly smaller than the common muntjac and DNA testing has shown it to be distinct from recently-discovered muntjac species. There have been several recent claims to have rediscovered the species, from evidence including skulls owned by villagers in the Truong Son (Annamite) mountains between Laos and Vietnam. Its closest relative is Fea's muntjac whose home range is mountains further northwest separated by lower land. However without further evidence, the exact position of Roosevelt's muntjac cannot be stated. Scientific classification - Wikipedia /**/ @import /skins/monobook/IE50Fixes. ...
