Moschus moschiferus, commonly known as the Siberian musk deer, is a small, hoofed mammal found primarily in the mountainous regions of Central Asia. It is notable for its unique tusks, which are elongated canine teeth that protrude from the upper jaw. The species is known for its musk gland, which produces a highly valued substance used in perfumes and traditional medicine. Siberian musk deer are typically solitary and prefer dense forests and shrublands. They have a shaggy brown coat that helps them blend into their natural habitat. Due to habitat loss and hunting for their musk, Moschus moschiferus is classified as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List.
