As per Encyclopedia Of Life, Muntjac's are omnivorous, feeding on grass,fruits, shoots, seeds, birds' eggs as well as small animals. It sometimes displays even scavenging behavior, feeding on carrion.
In my view, in India someone needs to do in depth research on these prehistoric deer. Also one interesting factor is Kakar has the minimum number of chromosomes, in fact lower than some low calorie fruits. Surpisingly they differ between male and female muntjac too, male has only 7 and female 6, do not understand how the genes are passed to the off springs.
