0:04Can you move out of the way, though?

0:06You gotta move over here, sir.

0:09OK, thank you.

0:12Hey.

0:14How you guys doing, huh?

0:17Today we're going to be introducing

0:18our two new muntjac, Tyler and Peanut, to Chowlie.

0:22Muntjac are a small Asian species.

0:24What I like about them is, they like to hide,

0:26and they're very, very sneaky.

0:28They actually were introduced also, in England,

0:31and they're kind of a nuisance in England.

0:32I just find it very interesting that an animal from Asia

0:36was introduced into an area where

0:38they're not supposed to be.

0:40They're also called barking deer.

0:41That's how they communicate with each other

0:43and warn each other of any kind of danger,

0:45which I think is kind of cool.

0:47Here you go, Chowlie girl.

0:48Chowlie, she's going to be kind of like the grandma

0:50of the bunch.

0:52She's an older female, but she's experienced out there.

0:54So I see her really kind of taking the leadership role.

0:59There's such a cute animal.

1:00Everybody thinks they're babies, they are not.

1:02Tyler and Peanut are still doing a little bit of growing,

1:04but for the most part, they are a very small deer species.

1:07They're a year and two years old.

1:10And they're just really fun.

1:11Everyone loves Chowlie, so these two are just going to be

1:13a great addition to our area.

1:20This is our little makeshift wall

1:22that we use a lot of times, when we're doing

1:24introductions with hoofstock.

1:25And it's solid, so the deer can see it.

1:27The tough thing about muntjac, is

1:29they get wound up really easy.

1:31I mean, they can overheat really quickly.

1:34It's actually pretty frustrating,

1:36because sometimes you're like, just calm down,

1:38it's not that big a deal.

1:39And it's really a small hoofstock,

1:41a small ungulate thing.

1:42These guys are food, so if there is aggression,

1:44and we get some chasing and stuff like that,

1:46we can quickly try to time that and separate

1:49them, and stop that aggression if that happens.

1:52Let's get two more sheets.

1:54Hi, cute deer.

1:56So I've been at the zoo about 24 years.

1:57And one of the things I love is, I really look at what animals

2:02behaviors are.

2:04Excuse me.

2:06Can we talk some more?

2:08I try very hard not to analyze them

2:11and put my own impressions on them, but it's kind of hard

2:13not to.

2:14Hey.

2:15We've been talking all night long.

2:17This is my formal greeting, I am Tyler.

2:20It's just-- it geeks me out.

2:23Easy.

2:25I got it.

2:26You're all right.

2:29I think, yeah.

2:32I think they'll be excited to be outside.

2:35All right, good luck.

2:38OK, ready?

2:46We open the crates, and as soon as we get them open,

2:48they, of course, jump out and go pretty quickly.

2:51They think they kind of realize, oh, we're outside, you know.

2:54So then I think it kind of calms down

2:56once they're out of the crate.

2:58I like this tree, it's very delicious.

3:01Quick, look at all these grass.

3:04Where is Chowlie?

3:05Hope she gets up investigates.

3:08Oh, there she is, OK.

3:10Chowlie's still laying down, not caring about anything.

3:14Chowlie is just laying down right now,

3:16so she hasn't really gotten up.

3:17I'm sure she notices something's going

3:19on, because obviously, us coming in with crates is not her norm.

3:23But right now, she's calm, she's laying down,

3:25while they're kind of investigating their area.

3:27So you have some friends.

3:29Yeah.

3:31I think everything went well.

3:32Hopefully those two will interact through the lattice,

3:34and we'll see what they do, and we'll continue tomorrow.
