It’s called the Southern red muntjac, also known as the Indian muntjac, or Muntiacus muntjac, but to locals this animal is called the barking deer. When these deer sense that there is danger around them, they make a sound that sounds very similar to a bark to scare off the danger, but also to warn others around them. Depending on what the danger is, this barking could last for over an hour.

2.     Another thing that the southern red muntjac can help humans do better is to help us come up with a way to warn others around us that there is danger. 
3.     Finally, this organism could teach us a way to let people know just how much danger we are truly in.

This is a whistle that people can carry with them to let people know that they are in trouble, or that there is danger near them to be aware of.  This whistle will be easy access, and will have three different sounds, each marking a level of danger. ]]> 2017-03-06 21:25:31 UTC https://padlet.com/astallons/azqmvan4bsv6/wish/158183012 Prototypes: astallons https://padlet.com/astallons/azqmvan4bsv6/wish/158183110 1.     At first, the whistle was just a whistle with buttons on it, but I thought it needed to be easier to carry, so I added a lanyard hook to it where people could wear it around their neck.
2.     Then, I thought, sometimes people wont want to wear a whistle around their neck so I added a key chain. 
3.     Finally, I decided to make the buttons easy to remember which is most dangerous, moderately dangerous, and least dangerous by adding color. 
·      Green – least dangerous
·      Yellow – moderately dangerous
·      Red- most severely dangerous
