Fea's muntjac, Chiang Mai Zoo (Thailand)

22 Sept 2006
I like all the muntjac species and Fea's is a species I always want to see! Great shot!
 
there is still a Fea's muntjac at the Chiang Mai Zoo. Not sure if it is this same individual though (it is almost eight years since I took the above photo!).
 
So I notice that a decent number of zoos in Thailand keep Fea's muntjac (Muntiacus feae). How are they doing as a captive population? Is there any organized breeding program for this species within Thai zoos? If not, I think there ought to be.
 
I think the breeding of them is organised through Dusit Zoo in Bangkok.
 
@Chlidonias Oh wow! Very nice! Do you know how long Thailand has had a captive population of this species? Does Dusit Zoo hold a studbook or at least plan on publishing one? If so, that would be quite an interesting read!
