Siberian Musk Deer: This Deer Is A Vampire

[@kapitankrunch3]

When I was young, my grandfather told me tales of saber tooth deer to scare me while walking through the forest. Only later in life did I realize they were real! Thanks for this video, it brought back some wonderful memories.

It's crazy to think that musk glands could be more valuable than gold, and it's a shame these unique and beautiful creatures are in so much danger from poachers because of it.

We must thank pseudoscience for that, and the fact that society still tolerates it.

Same, i don't know how I didn't saw just one nature documanterywith it.

[@shikhab2250]

The super costly musk perfumes were mainly made from the musk of these poor creatures. This documentary is primarily about making people aware of this deer it does not focus on the extent of killings that has been going for so many years to fulfill our pleasure. Only recently the musk is artificially created in the lab. Hope this creature will get a chance to thrive once again.

[@Angry.General1461]

​@@chickenpie4402 Looks like it should be called the saber-tooth deer!

In the UK we have two species of fanged deer. The reeves muntjac and the Chinese water deer (both of which are introduced), in fact we have over 10% of the global population of Chinese water deer

[@kellydalstok8900]

They’re the descendants of animals that escaped from a zoo, aren’t they. I think they showed them on an episode of Coast.

[@HereWeGoAgain4753]

What no way!? Where are they Usually located?

@@HereWeGoAgain4753 Chinese water deer are most commonly found in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk usually in wetland areas. Muntjacs can be found basically everywhere

Their tusks make them look cuter tbh. Also do you know if you can do a video on toucans if you haven’t already

[@jackg.3187]

Could you talk about land snails? They're pretty diverse group although they're usually pretty small. Or has there already been a topic about that? I love these videos, regardless. Danielle's enthusiasm for the subject(s) really shows!

[@FoxoticTV]

You should ask on every video until she does like Bookworm Adventure Deluxe

[@maau5trap273]

I saw one like this in a military base while being in Korea, it was kinda dark and he ran extremely fast, stopped for a little bit then took off. It was kinda scary, I didn’t knew such animal existed

[@GodzillaEA]

Looks like we got another Animal in the Convergent Evolutions category, I just looked up on a Similar Animal called a Water Deer, and to my Surprise, while both Animals are Hugely Similar in Look (tho the Water Deer has a more light brown gold coat) and well Fangs/ Tusks lol, they're not the same species nor related, as you said the Musk Deer is more related to the Animals of the Bovidae family, while the Water Deer is in fact a True Deer (even with the Similar appearance)

[@fermintenava5911]

These kinds of fangs are actually fairly wide-spread among Cervidae, too. The muntjac deers combine fangs with actual (yet rather small) antlers.

[@frizzlethecat2084]

They also look very similar to the European Roe Deer. Apart from the antlers/tusks.

[@reasons4171]

I always love the positive energy Danielle has. Thanks for the hard work

What adorable little fellas

[@fishyerik]

When only the males of non-social species have weapons it's typically not primarily, if at all for defending a feeding territory. Their issue with food isn't so much finding enough food as it is extracting the nutrients from it. Weather is way more likely to cause actual (local) shortage of accessible food than competition is in their case. When they can't find enough food they move, moving is what migratory means. And, high grade of adaption like tusks for keeping a feeding territory isn't common, especially not in migratory species. And, as a rule of thumb, the more shy and cautious a species is, the less likely it is to keep feeding territories, especially true for non-social species.

[@frizzlethecat2084]

Let me introduce you to the European Roe deer. It's VERY territorial, non-social (except in Winter where they form loose groups) and cautious and shy. Not migratory, though, as that would defeat the purpose of a territory. They are vicious little fighters, with spiky, relatively small, three-pronged antlers (male only). And they do use those antlers to chase away other male deer in their territory.

[@fishyerik]

​@@frizzlethecat2084 My point is about FEEDING territory, I thought I was extremely clear on that. Roe deer doesn't fight much for feeding territory, males fight each other in breeding season. She said the tusks were for controlling productive plots, because doing that is the difference between life and death in the winter. Which doesn't make sense in so many ways. Get it now?

[@tayb838]

You need to do better research. At the 1:13 mark you mentioned goats, but showed a photo of Oreamnos americanus, which is NOT a goat. At 1:15, you mention red deer, but showed a video of Sika Deer. At 1:44, you show videos of dik-dik, a kind of antelope, but mistakenly assign them to the Cervidae. Tsk Tsk

[@artemesiagentileschini7348]

Goats are paraphyletic, and is not a real taxonomic classification. The implication is that they are closely related to Caprinae which includes all goat-like relatives. Some even considers Serows as goats. And that is ok because goat is a folk taxon.
