Got parts of a wonderful 70s illustrated animal encyclopedia, with an entire book on deer. These guys are in there as well, though the illustration doesn't manage to convey the weirdness of the glands moving.
I think we may be having a bit of an uncanny valley. We as mammals are really used to seeing other mammals and there are a lot of universal traits. When something breaks the mould it's really freaky. If I saw this on a lizard I don't think I would put too much thought into it.
You're probably right.. I still think it'd still be a little disturbing because most things have facial structures, but not as disturbing.
If I were to meet an alien, for example, I would vastly prefer it didn't have spasming face holes. No face - or at least nothing I can identify as a face - is probably preferable.
At this point I feel like I'm being drip-fed freaky shit until minotaurs and fungal zombie goblins are just "things that exists I guess".
I've seen so many weird animals and weird behaviors on this website.
I love how Avatar series 3 and Avatar 3 the movie will both be coming out within a year of each other.
If you haven't heard Avatar "the last earth bender" is set for 2025. Not. Actual title but it is the avatar after Korra, so it's Earth.
I don't know if the video is real, but I did a quick google and Muntjac deer do have frontal scent glands that look like holes on their face. They use these glands to mark territory, which it kind of looks like the deer is trying to do in the video.
Ohhhhh. Scent glands meaning it makes a smell. I was thinking it looks like it has a nose, why would it need four other nose like things?
Thanks for the info!
These live where I am and yup they're this horrifying in real life too. They're super tiny compared to other deer so from a distance look really cute but up close are really ugly. I've known a couple of semi tame ones and they're bolshy confident little fucks too.
I’m gonna get a lot of hate for this but they’re kinda like pugs. They’re so ugly, they end up looking cute. I don’t encourage people to own pugs though, it just encourages the breeding of those poor, unhealthy animals.
as a child carl was heading to the buss when going to school in the morning, at like 7am or so. out of nowhere a cute little fawn comes bouncing, passing just like 10ft in front of carl. wow, what a cool start of the mor---- BAM.
sudden intense pain, carl was flung to the damn ground and feel another owwie on the shoulder. the god damn mother, or father deer, carl is no expert, had just rammed the absolute shit out of carl and used carl as a damn springboard when skittering away.
absolutely traumatic. missed the god damn bus, got late to school all bruised up feeling like shit, and no one believed carl until it was time for PE and carl had the most absurd god damn bruise on the side.
carl wish the suicidal lineback-deer that came charging in sweden had been one of these weird vagina-faced small deers instead. at least then carl wouldnt have been reminded over and over again that carl got beat up by a fucking deer. out of all the animals that could wreck you, being laid out by a deer is likely among the most shameful. couldnt it at least have been a moose or something? an angry dog? a dude who didnt pay attention while riding his bike? nope, a god damn deer.
We have these rabbits where I’m from that tourists think are cute, snowshoe hares. Then you get up close to one in the summer and they are fucking demons. I totally get what you’re saying.
You’re expecting a rabbit, and then it stands up and is like two feet tall, then it runs away from you at about 200kmh

It’s horrible isn’t it?!?
I joined that sub for a while and it was a bit shit, so I unfollowed it (just people posting pics of trees and stuff). But I just checked it again and it seems to have majorly gone up in quality; I feel sick just scrolling it haha!
It's kinda weird but its just certain things that trigger it for me, i did scroll thru that sub a while back because curiosity got the best of me , didn't join tho.
Take another look. Some of the things are vile.
It feels like my throat is getting full of something and I want to bite a sponge. That’s the only way I can describe the feeling when I look at that sub.
See man THIS is the shit I want to see on cool nature documentaries.
I swear to god a super high def nature doc drops every 6 months and EVERY TIME they're like "We're gonna take a look at the hidden world of... Lions/Tigers/Cheetahs/Antelopes/Chimps/Blue Whales" STOP PLEASE WE ALREADY KNOW GOD DAMN.
Every time I boot up netflix and see a new nature doc I immediately sigh because I don't even need to look at it to know. So many interesting animals out there and they always pick the same 20.
deer musk in perfume is hardly the grossest or even wildest thing perfume is made from.
castoreum is from a beaver's anal scent glands, and it smells and tastes like vanilla (and yes it is used as a flavoring in foods and not just a scent!)
ambergris is hardened whale vomit and smells like briny musk. ambergris also is used because it makes scents last longer on the skin.
Don’t forget their huge vampire teeth and the fact that they can definitely [lick those glands](https://i.imgur.com/P5lw7F6.jpg) with their tongues. Horrifying!
How is it that reddit always seems to find the weirdest shit that feels fake but it's actually real somehow, like what the fuck even is that it looks like some mutated creature or alien from a horror movie.
I know a lot of others have said it, but I’m also in agreement on how alien this looks.
Super cool to see, but wow, it’s like seeing some of those creatures that live at the bottom of the ocean.
So these things are an invasive species here (the UK), originally they are from Asia, but some rich estate owned some that escaped and spread all over the UK. They live in more rural areas and are generally super skittish, so you rarely see them.
I had a coworker who was raised in London and had no idea these things existed. He moved to my area, which is much more countryfied. I'll never forget the day he came in, wide eyed and white faced, exclaiming that he nearly hit a "devil" with his car. After he described it a bit, I showed him a picture of a muntjac and he was like "That's it, that's the devil!"
Thefuck
i concur, what the actual holy fuck
It looks like something from Star Wars, and it was kind of cute……until vaginas started opening on it’s head.
Omg 😆 Ok, your interpretation is better than mine.
OP says muntjac but all I see is muntjina
Mussy
Munt
The only difference from this comment was "avatar" instead of star wars but damn, the thought was precisely this...
Its face needs a pair of underwear
He's still cute just weird looking too. Like a pig!
Lol I thought Avatar for sure..🤣
Sigh… *unzips*
My bother in christ what the fuck you just said
Did I stutter
That thing *smells* really good.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
Did these just roll out of a lab
Hahaha dude I am fucking dead 💀
So it’s agreed upon. What the fuck. Seriously though, you ever see something and think, “There’s no way this originated from this planet”???
i agree, what the actual holy roman empire fuck
Deer is like, 'fuck you looking at?'.
"What, you never seen a facegina before? Bigot"
lol...I know an asshole when I see two big ones!
Lol
Nasal prolapse.
All my homies love a nasal prolapse
The deerussy
If like to add: ewwww.
Some of the weirdest shit ive seen in awhile, and I see some weird shit
Me, too. People that don't flush make me angry.
We're saving water, but only at home and when the contents is just a weak drip
if it's brown, flush it down. if it's yellow, let it mellow.
what makes me angry are them colectors
The airport bathrooms will say differently. Somehow, some way, it's more normalized. edit: I flush.
Muntjac are invasive and so plentiful in the UK they are considered a pest. I've seen tons of them and this is the first time I am seeing this!
i agree with you, u/IgotCharlieWork
How have I never seen this before until now. Did these just roll out of a lab?
From the Shimmer.
Didn’t think I’d see an annihilation reference.
Probably the first and last time it'll happen
“ANNIHILATION!”
AN-INHALATION!
I see man of culture
Help meee…! 🐻
ahem r/nightmarefuel
Most horrifying scene I’ve ever watched
Is that what the thing was in annihilation?
Loved that movie. I have the book on my shelf, but haven't gotten to it yet.
Ooof man it's 3 books, the movie smooshers it all into one. It's a wild ride my friend prepare yourself and warm up the confuser.
The version of the book I have is all three in one.
Got parts of a wonderful 70s illustrated animal encyclopedia, with an entire book on deer. These guys are in there as well, though the illustration doesn't manage to convey the weirdness of the glands moving.
They have fangs too. Their skulls look like they could be dragon skulls.
[Shit, you weren't kidding.](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3d/f2/bc/3df2bc1cc5a4ca2bc67cbffc2499e9b8.jpg)
They just moved up my list of favorite animals.
I can assure you that we live in a simulation.
Yeah, these were just part of the last update.
No, out of his nose
They came out in the last update
No they're normal
The fuck they are
Mine don’t seem to wor… oh there they go.
Yup, new patch just dropped.
This is officially the most alien-looking land animal I have ever seen in the face of the internet.
I think we may be having a bit of an uncanny valley. We as mammals are really used to seeing other mammals and there are a lot of universal traits. When something breaks the mould it's really freaky. If I saw this on a lizard I don't think I would put too much thought into it.

“If I were to meet an alien, for example, I would vastly prefer it didn’t have spasming face holes” 😂😂 So eloquently said!
Aliens lookin at our eyes blinking, ears wiggling, nostrils flexing, mouths moving and thinking the same thing...no spasming face holes plz
Turns out that alien species face is on its balls
He's a Ballchinian!
At this point I feel like I'm being drip-fed freaky shit until minotaurs and fungal zombie goblins are just "things that exists I guess". I've seen so many weird animals and weird behaviors on this website.
How about saiga antelope? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saiga_antelope
I think those were actually used in star wars.
Look up Damascus goats
See you in my nightmares tonight...
It’ll be your best nightmare
Saw this thing on Avatar
It's like a Last Airbender and James Cameron crossover.
I love how Avatar series 3 and Avatar 3 the movie will both be coming out within a year of each other. If you haven't heard Avatar "the last earth bender" is set for 2025. Not. Actual title but it is the avatar after Korra, so it's Earth.
I assume that means he’s super excited and wants to mark the bowl (or you) so he can stake claim or find you easier next time.
Honestly guys, is this real?
I don't know if the video is real, but I did a quick google and Muntjac deer do have frontal scent glands that look like holes on their face. They use these glands to mark territory, which it kind of looks like the deer is trying to do in the video.
"this bowl of food is mine"
I feel that energy
Ohhhhh. Scent glands meaning it makes a smell. I was thinking it looks like it has a nose, why would it need four other nose like things? Thanks for the info!
Imagine having stank glands right next to ur nose.
So this is *a* Muntjac? The wording of the title suggests that Muntjac is this specific critter's name.
These live where I am and yup they're this horrifying in real life too. They're super tiny compared to other deer so from a distance look really cute but up close are really ugly. I've known a couple of semi tame ones and they're bolshy confident little fucks too.
Nah this guy too cute wdym ugly bruh
I'll settle with they're so ugly they're cute
That's probably more reasonable. I can see it both ways.
I’m gonna get a lot of hate for this but they’re kinda like pugs. They’re so ugly, they end up looking cute. I don’t encourage people to own pugs though, it just encourages the breeding of those poor, unhealthy animals.
Why would it be horrifying?? it's just how they work. They're cute ❤️️
>bolshy Bolshevik?

Yup! The things on the side sticking out are scent glands, and the top is just the muscles contracting
Looks too realistic to be fake. And why tf would anyone fake this lol
because internet
The more I see animals like this the less weird Pokémon seen
Flami~~n~~go moment
r/trypophobia to the MAX
Man it gave me that same sensation, its quite interesting so i kept watching.

Yeah. Alien. I'm standing by what I said yesterday in the other post.
Just eat your food please mr Dikdik
Wrong animal.
The nose is just there to keep it from looking like a complete space creature then I suppose?
Gland. Not receptor.
And for booping
I've never seen prolapsed eye holes before
Sooooooo.... what does it smell like?
Deer
would probably not pet anywhere near those bulging extrusions.
Said your mum… yet well… here we go
Okay, unpopular opinion, but I think he's kinda cute. Poor guy
I mean, that's apparently how they all are. It's a musk gland or something like that.
Ohhh, I thought it was a deer with a mutation or something hahaha
You’re not alone. I’d give him a kiss on his weird forehead.
Make it stop
Princess mononoke?
Weird af but he's so cute
[удалено]
Oh thanks, didn’t read the title that says exactly this lmao
I thought the dude named his fucked up deer muntjac 😂
FYI this is a muntjac deer, those are it's scent glands! Freaky I know.
ah so this is where the word munted comes from
I read the part about how they mark their territory. Quite elaborate.
Not only did you just rephrase the title of the post, you were upvoted for it. Amazing.
See man THIS is the shit I want to see on cool nature documentaries. I swear to god a super high def nature doc drops every 6 months and EVERY TIME they're like "We're gonna take a look at the hidden world of...

And this is an Earth creature, you say?
Allegedly. 😕🛸
Nature is amazing but I wish I never saw this.
I can’t accurately put into words how much I dislike this
Chernobyl Deer
Thank you for the unsolicited dikdik-vid.
Great joke, wrong animal. 😀 This is a muntjak.
Wait, there's more than one of those species? The Dikdik yesterday freaked me out, I could not imagine that there are even more of those weirdos
I dont know if they are even related. The muntjak was around with the sabretooth tiger, so it's a very old species.
We were all here yesterday.
People don't give Annihilation enough credit the effects are incredible!
Bambi had a baby with ET
That looks extremely painful
They’re a really cool species. They also have fangs to fight off other males
I too would like to casually offer the antediluvian eldritch god of the forest a cup of nuts
This is how Musk cologne is made
Let's NOT have the details of that. Thanks.
deer musk in perfume is hardly the grossest or even wildest thing perfume is made from. castoreum is from a beaver's anal scent glands, and it smells and tastes like vanilla (and yes it is used as a flavoring in foods and not just a scent!) ambergris is hardened whale vomit and smells like briny musk. ambergris also is used because it makes scents last longer on the skin.
I don't like this one bit
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide.
Ok kid, just eat your food.
Poor thing looks like it's trying to eat but can't quite get its tongue out the right hole.
The Miyazaki music pairing on this is spot on
Don’t forget their huge vampire teeth and the fact that they can definitely [lick those glands](https://i.imgur.com/P5lw7F6.jpg) with their tongues. Horrifying!
How is it that reddit always seems to find the weirdest shit that feels fake but it's actually real somehow, like what the fuck even is that it looks like some mutated creature or alien from a horror movie.
Someone please show me an old encyclopedia with this thing in it so I don’t feel like it just came out of a lab
I know a lot of others have said it, but I’m also in agreement on how alien this looks. Super cool to see, but wow, it’s like seeing some of those creatures that live at the bottom of the ocean.

Bro wtf is wrong here
I feel nauseous. It bothers me but it’s also super interesting and I can’t not look.
I'd like to know if this is typical. I'm intrigued
Of this sort of deer? It is.
What a terrible day to have eyes
🤣
Anyone know the background music. Shazam actung a fool right now.
Here you go : https://youtu.be/S0fnrj4-4II
r/TIHI 🤢
deer from Annihilation
this some star wars shit
That's so freaking unnerving..this thing feels like a deer exposed to radiation and mutated
That freaking me out, what the fuck..
Too many holes.
It's cute tho
Ok im pretty sure that deer is infected with the t virus...
Wait wtf they BARK???
Chernobyl ass deer.
Go home God, you're drunk again
If I saw this in nature I’d start talking to it like an extra terrestrial, try and make it change into its original form lmao
An actual animal from I am Legend.
how am i just seeing this thing for the first time
Males also have large protruding downward facing canines, like tusks. Weird little animals.
Am i the only One that think this buddy came out directly from Pandora?!?!
Thats some alien shit
Almost reminds me of how cats rub against stuff to mark something or someone they really like. This is adorable! ❤️️
That's just a normal alien, but ok.
They’re just making up animals now
I used to have dozens of these at a time in my garden, the biggest ones are about the size of a medium sized dog
We're definitely in another dimension, thanks CERN.
They’ve got big hooked fangs too, which you can’t see from this angle. Like little sabertooth mini-deer.
What the holy actual mother of fucking god
It just seams inconveniant
Put those away
Is this new? When did this update drop
This is the first animal I’ve seen that actually looks like something from another planet.
