For the Reeves's muntjac, which is a deer species less than a meter long, the safest place is always deep in the forest, as nobody can predict when the birds of prey spot its delicate and delicious body. Its fiddle-footed temper might make it difficult for it to make friends, but the old saying "better safe than sorry" always works in every situation here. Fortunately, the lush evergreen broadleaf forest makes the Minshan Mountains in southwest China a worthy sanctuary for wildlife. Therefore, animals like Reeves's muntjac could live a relatively safe life in the forest.
