As the most primitive animal in the deer family, the musk deer lives in Korea, China, Central Asia, Sahalin, Siberia, and Mongolia. It is about 65-87cm and approximately 75-105cm tall. A musk deer has no horns, with an upper chin as well as long canine teeth. It has rather big ears, four short legs, and small hooves, and its tail is too short to be seen. Its coat is wave-like and yellowish-brown in color. A musk deer has a white band from the two eyes to the inside of its legs. It lives in the high mountains more than 1,000 meters above sea level. It feeds on plants and grass living on the rocks and on the bark of trees or buds, leaves, and fruits of small trees. The female usually produces about 1-2 fawns and stays with them. A musk deer has good eyesight and hearing but is rather timid. The male has a musk pocket on the belly, which gives off a scent to lure the female during mating. The musk is expensive because it is used for perfume or medicine. That is why people overharvest it, and the number of musk deer has decreased remarkably. Musk deer are in danger of extinction. Therefore, they are designated and protected as a natural treasure.
