Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Who needs chromosomes? Certainly not the Indian muntjac! Indian muntjac deer have the lowest chromosome count of any mammal, with 6 in females and 7 in males. That's fewer chromosomes than a fruit fly!

Season 3 Planning

In case anyone was curious how our planning meetings have been going for season 3 of the Magnus Protocol, @jonnywaistcoat and @rqbossman are professionals who never get side tracked.

Also posted to Tiktok bc I guess I’m doing that now: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRCRNReY/

(Note: yes muntjac are omnivores not carnivores, Alex got caught up in the moment)

#muntjac #deer

I heard y'all like baby deer, so let's put some more cute on your dash.

In this case, Cash, a Reeve's muntjac fawn at the Omaha Zoo. These photos are from last month, so he's a bit bigger now!

I think he was about three weeks old in these photos! He was still pretty tentative about leaving cover and shadowed his mom, Loretta, pretty closely.

(The zoo confirmed in a Facebook comment that yes, the whole family is named after country singers: Dad is named Willie Nelson.)

The blog post that announced his birth (the day before I got there!) stated erroneously that Reeve's muntjac is the smallest deer species. If you've been here for previous super-cute baby deer posts, you might remember that the winner of that superlative is actually the pudu, South American deer that are even tinier than these little guys.

Please enjoy this blooper reel where I have no idea what he and his mom were doing, but their faces are gold.
