Siberian musk deer

The Siberian musk deer is a small, shy mammal that roams the dense mountain forests of Northeast Asia. Known for its delicate build and quiet nature, it thrives in the chilly taiga regions of Siberia and nearby areas. Unlike most deer, males grow small fang-like tusks instead of antlers.

• Males have long, sharp tusks used for sparring during mating season.
• Their preferred habitat is the cold, coniferous forests of the taiga.
• They produce a strong-smelling musk used in perfumes and traditional medicine.
