Fun with Zoology: Bambi's vampire-like cousin

musk_deerBelieve it or not this photo has not been 'enhanced' with Photoshop. This is a Himalayan Musk Deer.

So what exactly are these fangs?

"Both sexes have well-developed upper canines, and in males these may reach a length of 7 cm / 3 inches and protrude from the mouth in a fang-like manner. The canines are constantly growing, but, due to their mobility and fragility, they are easily broken."

A fascinating animal. Read more about it here.
