The hairy-fronted muntjac or black muntjac (Muntiacus crinifrons) is a type of deer currently found in Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi and Fujian in southeastern China. It is considered to be endangered, possibly down to as few as 5–10,000 individuals spread over a wide area.

Muntiacus crinifrons is a solitary and territorial deer, inhabiting altitudes from 800 to 1000 m in subtropical mountainous forests. Secretions from the frontal and pre-orbital glands are rubbed against vegetation to mark territories.

Numbers of Black Muntjac deer (Muntiacus crinifrons) are falling rapidly. Only 5,000 are thought to be left remaining in the wild. These deer, sometimes called the Hairy-Fronted Muntjac, are at risk due to over-hunting and habitat loss.

Muntiacus muntjak chromosomes. Muntjac are of great interest in evolutionary studies because of their dramatic chromosome variations and the recent discovery of several new species. The Southern red muntjac (M. muntjak) is the mammal with the lowest recorded chromosome number: The male has a diploid number of 7, the female only 6 chromosomes.

Muntjac — also called barking deer and rib-faced deer — are not much larger than small dogs. They are reddish brown in color and use their small size to stay concealed in the grass.

Muntiacus crinifrons (Black Muntjac) is a species of mammals in the family Cervidae. They are listed as vulnerable by IUCN and in cites appendix i. They are native to the Palearctic and Asia. They are solitary omnivores. Reproduction is viviparous. They have parental care (female provides care). They rely on running to move around.

Long tail with fringes of white hairs, small antlers. Pelage dark brown to nearly black with conspicuous golden-yellow frontal tuft. The species occurs in east Asia and is endemic to the province of Zheijiang, in eastern China. Lives in mountain forests and scrublands with abundant undergrowth, to 1000 m.

Working with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.
