In the forest.
Lin Qian stared blankly at the creature under his claws.
This thing...
Is it a zombie deer?
Courage looked at its brother, who was in a daze, and smacked its rump with its paw.
"hold head high!!"
Black Musk Deer cried out in fright and trembled all over.
Seeing the utterly panicked look in Black Musk's eyes, Lin Qian dismissed his unrealistic suspicions.
It wasn't that Lin Qian was ignorant, but this thing really did look misleading. Its black fur and two long fangs reflected a cold light in the moonlight, making it look just like a zombie from a movie.
Before evolution, ordinary black musk deer were not so strange. Although they had two fangs, they were not so prominent or so long.
(Note: Black musk deer, scientific name: moschus fuscus, is an animal of the Cervidae family and the genus moschus. It is similar in appearance to the forest musk deer, with a body length of 70-80 cm, a shoulder height of less than 500 mm, a total skull length of less than 150 mm, and a weight of 7-9 kg.)
The small, dark-colored musk deer is smaller than its close relative, the forest musk deer, and has a darker body color. It has no white spots on its face and neck, sometimes has light brown patches on its shoulders, a dark throat, and often has two incomplete yellow collars. Its limbs are black, and its hind limbs are longer than its forelimbs.
The black musk deer was discovered and named by Chinese scholars in 1981, making it the most recently identified species of musk deer. It is endemic to China and is a Class I protected wild animal in China.
Black musk deer mostly inhabit high-altitude dark coniferous forests, mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests, alpine rhododendron thickets, and meadows at altitudes of 2,700 to 4,200 meters. They are nocturnal and are more active at dawn and dusk.
Of course, in this environment where all species are evolving and constantly changing, information about ordinary black musk deer is no longer of any reference value.
It's perfectly normal that Lin Qian had never seen a black musk deer before. Now he's encountered an evolved version, but he has no way of knowing its name or anything like that.
Courage was also encountering Black Musk for the first time. Tiger Eyes looked at it curiously and updated its recipe information in the meantime.
Lin Qian and Yong Qi could only determine from their experience and talent that this was a deer-like animal; they certainly had no other information.
Well, as a tiger, Courage's judgment of its prey is quite accurate.
Although this black musk deer has evolved, it has not broken through the level of life to become a spirit beast.
So, unfortunately, it is about to become the dinner of two Siberian tigers.
