Tufted deers are a small specie of deer. What makes them so special is their unique tuft of black hair on their forehead and their set of fang-like canines seen in males. These canines can grow up to 1.5 inch long! and they seem to replace the horns, as males don't have any.
They live in the forested mountains of China. Mainly solitary or found as couples, their nutrition consists of roots, herbs and plants.
Although their population is considered still high (around 400,000 individuals), it is threatened by deforestation...
