Siberian Musk Deer: Unique Features and Conservation Status #1442244 (License: Personal Use)

The Siberian musk deer (Moschus moschiferus) is a small, solitary ungulate native to the mountainous forests of Northeast Asia. Unlike true deer, it lacks antlers and instead males sport long, tusk-like upper canines used in dominance displays and combat. Its thick, coarse fur ranges from dark brown to grayish, providing camouflage in rocky, forested terrain.
