Deer and mouse deer
Much more well known to many Malaysians than the three species of true deer are the greater and lesser mouse deer, the wily heroes of many folk tales. The Indian muntjak or barking deer has, in contrast, long been a favourite animal of Malay sultans and was in the past featured on gold coins. In more modern times, it is featured in the state crest of Kelantan as well as the logo of Bank Negara.
