More Information:

  • Found in Philippines

  • Like white-tailed deer, when danger threatens, they raise their tails and flash the white underside

  • Know as "hog deer" because they are stout with short legs. When fleeing from potential danger, they dash through underbrush with their heads down like a hog instead of jumping like other deer.

  • Hunted by local people for meat, hides, and antlers

  • IUCN: Endangered
