The buck stops here
Thetford Forest teems with some of the UK's most exotic wildlife, but to see some of it you need to get up early and be very quiet. Animals that are difficult to find always leave signs of their presence behind, and one of the most obvious is footprints.

Muntjac are an introduced species. The male has tiny single-spike antlers and black stripes on his nose.
