Hog Deer get their name from the hog-like running through the forests with its head down so that it can duck under obstacles instead of leaping over them like most other deer.
A mature hog deer stag stands about 70 cm at the shoulder and weighs approximately 50 kg .
The antler of a hog deer stag is three tined-brow tine with solid main beam.
Here in Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary, Hog Deer are reintroduced.
