Muntjacs were introduced to England around 1925 when some escaped from Woburn Park, joined sometime later by escapees from Whipsnade Zoo. They have expanded rapidly and can now be found in most English counties south of the M62 and also in Wales. The British Deer Society believes that muntjac may soon become the most numerous species of deer in England. Muntjac are the oldest known deer, appearing 15-35 million years ago.
