The scientific name of Indian Red Muntjac is Muntiacus vaginalis. Its foreign names include Barking Deer, Indian Muntjac, Indian Red Muntjac, and Northern Red Muntjac. Similar to the Yellow Muntjac, it will bark when in danger, so it is also called the Barking Deer.

It usually appears day and night, and is most active at dusk and in foggy times.
